Solving for variable 'r'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1 + 1.6r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1.6r + 1 + r2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 1.6r + r2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 1.6r + r2 = 0 + 1
1.6r + r2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
1.6r + r2 = 1

The r term is 1.6r.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6r + 0.64 + r2 = 1 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6r + r2 = 1 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.64 = 1.64
0.64 + 1.6r + r2 = 1.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + 0.8)(r + 0.8) = 1.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.280624847
