(r+4)(r-9)=

Solution for (r+4)(r-9)= equation:

Simplifying
(r + 4)(r + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + r)(r + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + r)(-9 + r) = 0

Multiply (4 + r) * (-9 + r)
(4(-9 + r) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
((-9 * 4 + r * 4) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
((-36 + 4r) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
(-36 + 4r + (-9 * r + r * r)) = 0
(-36 + 4r + (-9r + r2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 4r + -9r = -5r
(-36 + -5r + r2) = 0

Solving
-36 + -5r + r2 = 0

Solving for variable 'r'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-4 + -1r)(9 + -1r) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-4 + -1r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-4 + -1r = 0

Solving
-4 + -1r = 0

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

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + -1r = 0 + 4

Simplifying
9 + -1r = 0

Solving
9 + -1r = 0

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

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1r = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + -9
-1r = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
-1r = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
r = 9

Simplifying
r = 9
Solution
r = {-4, 9}
