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 + -3.5r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -3.5r + -0.5 + r2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -3.5r + r2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5r + r2 = 0 + -0.5
-3.5r + r2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-3.5r + r2 = -0.5

The r term is -3.5r.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5r + 3.0625 + r2 = -0.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5r + r2 = -0.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 3.0625 = 2.5625
3.0625 + -3.5r + r2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + -1.75)(r + -1.75) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(r + -1.75) equal to 1.600781059 and -1.600781059.

Subproblem 1

r + -1.75 = 1.600781059 Simplifying r + -1.75 = 1.600781059 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + r = 1.600781059 Solving -1.75 + r = 1.600781059 Solving for variable 'r'. Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + r = 1.600781059 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + r = 1.600781059 + 1.75 r = 1.600781059 + 1.75 Combine like terms: 1.600781059 + 1.75 = 3.350781059 r = 3.350781059 Simplifying r = 3.350781059

Subproblem 2

r + -1.75 = -1.600781059 Simplifying r + -1.75 = -1.600781059 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + r = -1.600781059 Solving -1.75 + r = -1.600781059 Solving for variable 'r'. Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + r = -1.600781059 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + r = -1.600781059 + 1.75 r = -1.600781059 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.600781059 + 1.75 = 0.149218941 r = 0.149218941 Simplifying r = 0.149218941
