1 + 13r + -2r2 = 0 + -8r + 8r + 2r2 + -2r2
1 + 13r + -2r2 = -8r + 8r + 2r2 + -2r2

Combine like terms: -8r + 8r = 0
1 + 13r + -2r2 = 0 + 2r2 + -2r2
1 + 13r + -2r2 = 2r2 + -2r2

Combine like terms: 2r2 + -2r2 = 0
1 + 13r + -2r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-0.5 + -6.5r + r2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -6.5r + 0.5 + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -6.5r + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6.5r + r2 = 0 + 0.5
-6.5r + r2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-6.5r + r2 = 0.5

The r term is -6.5r.  Take half its coefficient (-3.25).
Square it (10.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '10.5625' to each side of the equation.
-6.5r + 10.5625 + r2 = 0.5 + 10.5625

Reorder the terms:
10.5625 + -6.5r + r2 = 0.5 + 10.5625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 10.5625 = 11.0625
10.5625 + -6.5r + r2 = 11.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + -3.25)(r + -3.25) = 11.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.326033674
