Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + -1r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + -1r = 0

Solving
2 + -1r = 0

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

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1r = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + -2
-1r = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1r = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
r = 2

Simplifying
r = 2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(10 + -1r)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + -1r = 0

Solving
10 + -1r = 0

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

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -1r = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + -10
-1r = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-1r = -10

Divide each side by '-1'.
r = 10

Simplifying
r = 10
Solution
r = {2, 10}
