Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(r + 1) equal to 5.385164807 and -5.385164807.

Subproblem 1
r + 1 = 5.385164807

Simplifying
r + 1 = 5.385164807

Reorder the terms:
1 + r = 5.385164807

Solving
1 + r = 5.385164807

Solving for variable 'r'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + r = 5.385164807 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + r = 5.385164807 + -1
r = 5.385164807 + -1

Combine like terms: 5.385164807 + -1 = 4.385164807
r = 4.385164807

Simplifying
r = 4.385164807

Subproblem 2
r + 1 = -5.385164807

Simplifying
r + 1 = -5.385164807

Reorder the terms:
1 + r = -5.385164807

Solving
1 + r = -5.385164807

Solving for variable 'r'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + r = -5.385164807 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + r = -5.385164807 + -1
r = -5.385164807 + -1

Combine like terms: -5.385164807 + -1 = -6.385164807
r = -6.385164807

Simplifying
r = -6.385164807

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
r = {4.385164807, -6.385164807}
