Solving for variable 'r'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3r + 6 + r2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3r + r2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3r + r2 = 0 + 6
3r + r2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3r + r2 = 6

The r term is 3r.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3r + 2.25 + r2 = 6 + 2.25
