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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-2 + -2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -2.5t + 2 + t2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 2
-2.5t + t2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-2.5t + t2 = 2

The t term is -2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 2 + 1.5625
