Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-16 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-16'.
-0.06 + -2.4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.06' to each side of the equation.
-0.06 + -2.4t + 0.06 + t2 = 0 + 0.06

Reorder the terms:
-0.06 + 0.06 + -2.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.06

Combine like terms: -0.06 + 0.06 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.06
-2.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.06

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.06 = 0.06
-2.4t + t2 = 0.06

The t term is -2.4t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
-2.4t + 1.44 + t2 = 0.06 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + -2.4t + t2 = 0.06 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 0.06 + 1.44 = 1.5
1.44 + -2.4t + t2 = 1.5
