Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
0.5 + -2t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -2t + -0.5 + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -2t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2t + t2 = 0 + -0.5
-2t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-2t + t2 = -0.5

The t term is -2t.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2t + 1 + t2 = -0.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2t + t2 = -0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 1 = 0.5
1 + -2t + t2 = 0.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1)(t + -1) = 0.5
