Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-6 + -1r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-6 + -1r = 0

Solving
-6 + -1r = 0

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

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -1r = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + 6
-1r = 0 + 6

Solving
5 + -1r = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1r = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + -5
-1r = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1r = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
r = 5

Simplifying
r = 5
Solution
r = {-6, 5}
