x = -2

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

Simplifying
1 + x = 0

Solving
1 + x = 0

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
x = -1
Solution
x = {-2, -1}
