Factor out r from the expression
r(r+5)+2r+2×5
Factor out 2 from the expression
r(r+5)+2(r+5)
Factor out r+5 from the expression
(r+2)(r+5)
3(r+2)(r+5)
3(r+2)(r+5)=0
Divide the terms
(r+2)(r+5)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
r+2=0r+5=0
Solve the equation for r
More Steps

Evaluate
r+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
r=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
r=−2
r=−2r+5=0
