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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.2 + -1.6t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + -1.6t + -0.2 + t2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + -1.6t + t2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.6t + t2 = 0 + -0.2
-1.6t + t2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
-1.6t + t2 = -0.2

The t term is -1.6t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6t + 0.64 + t2 = -0.2 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6t + t2 = -0.2 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.64 = 0.44
0.64 + -1.6t + t2 = 0.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.8)(t + -0.8) = 0.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.663324958

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.8) equal to 0.663324958 and -0.663324958.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.8 = 0.663324958 Simplifying t + -0.8 = 0.663324958 Reorder the terms: -0.8 + t = 0.663324958 Solving -0.8 + t = 0.663324958 Solving for variable 't'.
