Solving for variable 'r'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -7r + 6 + r2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -7r + r2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -7r + r2 = 0 + 6
-7r + r2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-7r + r2 = 6

The r term is -7r.  Take half its coefficient (-3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
-7r + 12.25 + r2 = 6 + 12.25
