Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-0.25 + -5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -5t + 0.25 + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 0.25
-5t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-5t + t2 = 0.25

The t term is -5t.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5t + 6.25 + t2 = 0.25 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5t + t2 = 0.25 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 6.25 = 6.5
6.25 + -5t + t2 = 6.5
