Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-10.5 + -6.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + -6.5t + 10.5 + t2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + -6.5t + t2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6.5t + t2 = 0 + 10.5
-6.5t + t2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.5 = 10.5
-6.5t + t2 = 10.5

The t term is -6.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-3.25).
Square it (10.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '10.5625' to each side of the equation.
-6.5t + 10.5625 + t2 = 10.5 + 10.5625

Reorder the terms:
10.5625 + -6.5t + t2 = 10.5 + 10.5625

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 10.5625 = 21.0625
10.5625 + -6.5t + t2 = 21.0625
