Solving for variable 'r'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
3.75 + 4.5r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.75' to each side of the equation.
3.75 + 4.5r + -3.75 + r2 = 0 + -3.75

Reorder the terms:
3.75 + -3.75 + 4.5r + r2 = 0 + -3.75

Combine like terms: 3.75 + -3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 4.5r + r2 = 0 + -3.75
4.5r + r2 = 0 + -3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.75 = -3.75
4.5r + r2 = -3.75

The r term is 4.5r.  Take half its coefficient (2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
4.5r + 5.0625 + r2 = -3.75 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + 4.5r + r2 = -3.75 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: -3.75 + 5.0625 = 1.3125
5.0625 + 4.5r + r2 = 1.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + 2.25)(r + 2.25) = 1.3125
