Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -1.7t + 1 + t2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + -1.7t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -1.7t + t2 = 0 + 1
-1.7t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-1.7t + t2 = 1

The t term is -1.7t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.85).
Square it (0.7225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.7225' to each side of the equation.
-1.7t + 0.7225 + t2 = 1 + 0.7225

Reorder the terms:
0.7225 + -1.7t + t2 = 1 + 0.7225
