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

Divide each side by '3.2'.
-0.3125 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.3125' to each side of the equation.
-0.3125 + -4t + 0.3125 + t2 = 0 + 0.3125

Reorder the terms:
-0.3125 + 0.3125 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 0.3125

Combine like terms: -0.3125 + 0.3125 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 0.3125
-4t + t2 = 0 + 0.3125

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.3125 = 0.3125
-4t + t2 = 0.3125

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 = 0.3125 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = 0.3125 + 4

Combine like terms: 0.3125 + 4 = 4.3125
4 + -4t + t2 = 4.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2)(t + -2) = 4.3125
