Answer

$r=\left\{ -3,0,\dfrac{4}{5} \right\}$

Work Step by Step

Equating each factor to zero, then the solution to the given equation, $ 2r(r+3)(5r-4)=0 $, is \begin{array}{l} 2r=0 \\ r=\dfrac{0}{2} \\ r=0 ,\text{ OR}\\\\ r+3=0 \\ r=0-3 \\ r=-3 ,\text{ OR}\\\\ 5r-4=0 \\ 5r=0+4 \\ 5r=4 \\ r=\dfrac{4}{5} \end{array} Hence, $ r=\left\{ -3,0,\dfrac{4}{5} \right\} $.
