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

Divide each side by '16'.
-0.0625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.0625 + -2.5t + 0.0625 + t2 = 0 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
-0.0625 + 0.0625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: -0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.0625
-2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.0625 = 0.0625
-2.5t + t2 = 0.0625

The t term is -2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
