-0.8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.8'.
65 + -18t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-65' to each side of the equation.
65 + -18t + -65 + t2 = 0 + -65

Reorder the terms:
65 + -65 + -18t + t2 = 0 + -65

Combine like terms: 65 + -65 = 0
0 + -18t + t2 = 0 + -65
-18t + t2 = 0 + -65

Combine like terms: 0 + -65 = -65
-18t + t2 = -65

The t term is -18t.  Take half its coefficient (-9).
Square it (81) and add it to both sides.

Add '81' to each side of the equation.
-18t + 81 + t2 = -65 + 81

Reorder the terms:
81 + -18t + t2 = -65 + 81
