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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-0.5 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -4t + 0.5 + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 0.5
-4t + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-4t + t2 = 0.5

The t term is -4t.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4t + 4 + t2 = 0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = 0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 4 = 4.5
4 + -4t + t2 = 4.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2)(t + -2) = 4.5
