Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1a + 1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1a + 1 + x = 0

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1a + x = 0

Solving
1 + -1a + x = 0

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1a + -1 + x = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -1a + x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1a + x = 0 + -1
-1a + x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1a + x = -1

Add 'a' to each side of the equation.
-1a + a + x = -1 + a

Combine like terms: -1a + a = 0
0 + x = -1 + a
x = -1 + a

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
x + -1x = -1 + a + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
0 = -1 + a + -1x

Simplifying
0 = -1 + a + -1x
