Solving for variable 'r'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 2r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 2r + 0.5 + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 2r + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2r + r2 = 0 + 0.5
2r + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2r + r2 = 0.5

The r term is 2r.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2r + 1 + r2 = 0.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2r + r2 = 0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1 = 1.5
1 + 2r + r2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + 1)(r + 1) = 1.5
