Add '-320' to each side of the equation.
320 + -48t + -320 + t2 = 0 + -320

Reorder the terms:
320 + -320 + -48t + t2 = 0 + -320

Combine like terms: 320 + -320 = 0
0 + -48t + t2 = 0 + -320
-48t + t2 = 0 + -320

Combine like terms: 0 + -320 = -320
-48t + t2 = -320

The t term is -48t.  Take half its coefficient (-24).
Square it (576) and add it to both sides.

Add '576' to each side of the equation.
-48t + 576 + t2 = -320 + 576

Reorder the terms:
576 + -48t + t2 = -320 + 576

Combine like terms: -320 + 576 = 256
576 + -48t + t2 = 256

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -24)(t + -24) = 256
