Solving for variable 'r'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + -4r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + -4r + -3.5 + r2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + -4r + r2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4r + r2 = 0 + -3.5
-4r + r2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
-4r + r2 = -3.5

The r term is -4r.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4r + 4 + r2 = -3.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4r + r2 = -3.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 4 = 0.5
4 + -4r + r2 = 0.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + -2)(r + -2) = 0.5
