(r+5)(r-9)=0

Solution for (r+5)(r-9)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(r + 5)(r + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + r)(r + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + r)(-9 + r) = 0

Multiply (5 + r) * (-9 + r)
(5(-9 + r) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
((-9 * 5 + r * 5) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
((-45 + 5r) + r(-9 + r)) = 0
(-45 + 5r + (-9 * r + r * r)) = 0
(-45 + 5r + (-9r + r2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 5r + -9r = -4r
(-45 + -4r + r2) = 0

Solving
-45 + -4r + r2 = 0

Solving for variable 'r'.
