\left(r-1\right)\times 6\times 10^{-9}+r\times 4\times 10^{-9}=0
Variable r cannot be equal to any of the values 0,1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(r-1\right)r^{2}, the least common multiple of r^{2},0\times 25-r+r^{2}.
\left(r-1\right)\times 6\times \frac{1}{1000000000}+r\times 4\times 10^{-9}=0
Calculate 10 to the power of -9 and get \frac{1}{1000000000}.
\left(r-1\right)\times \frac{3}{500000000}+r\times 4\times 10^{-9}=0
Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{1000000000} to get \frac{3}{500000000}.
\frac{3}{500000000}r-\frac{3}{500000000}+r\times 4\times 10^{-9}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply r-1 by \frac{3}{500000000}.
\frac{3}{500000000}r-\frac{3}{500000000}+r\times 4\times \frac{1}{1000000000}=0
Calculate 10 to the power of -9 and get \frac{1}{1000000000}.
\frac{3}{500000000}r-\frac{3}{500000000}+r\times \frac{1}{250000000}=0
Multiply 4 and \frac{1}{1000000000} to get \frac{1}{250000000}.
\frac{1}{100000000}r-\frac{3}{500000000}=0
Combine \frac{3}{500000000}r and r\times \frac{1}{250000000} to get \frac{1}{100000000}r.
\frac{1}{100000000}r=\frac{3}{500000000}
Add \frac{3}{500000000} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
r=\frac{3}{500000000}\times 100000000
Multiply both sides by 100000000, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{100000000}.
r=\frac{3}{5}
Multiply \frac{3}{500000000} and 100000000 to get \frac{3}{5}.
