Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.8'.
-2.5 + -18t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + -18t + 2.5 + t2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + -18t + t2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -18t + t2 = 0 + 2.5
-18t + t2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
-18t + t2 = 2.5

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