(r-6)(2r+7)=0

Solution for (r-6)(2r+7)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(r + -6)(2r + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + r)(2r + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + r)(7 + 2r) = 0

Multiply (-6 + r) * (7 + 2r)
(-6(7 + 2r) + r(7 + 2r)) = 0
((7 * -6 + 2r * -6) + r(7 + 2r)) = 0
((-42 + -12r) + r(7 + 2r)) = 0
(-42 + -12r + (7 * r + 2r * r)) = 0
(-42 + -12r + (7r + 2r2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -12r + 7r = -5r
(-42 + -5r + 2r2) = 0

Solving
-42 + -5r + 2r2 = 0

Solving for variable 'r'.
