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

Divide each side by '-16'.
-0.4375 + -2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4375' to each side of the equation.
-0.4375 + -2.5t + 0.4375 + t2 = 0 + 0.4375

Reorder the terms:
-0.4375 + 0.4375 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.4375

Combine like terms: -0.4375 + 0.4375 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.4375
-2.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.4375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4375 = 0.4375
-2.5t + t2 = 0.4375

The t term is -2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 0.4375 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0.4375 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 0.4375 + 1.5625 = 2
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.25)(t + -1.25) = 2
