Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-5.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-5.5'.
80 + -24t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.
80 + -24t + -80 + t2 = 0 + -80

Reorder the terms:
80 + -80 + -24t + t2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0
0 + -24t + t2 = 0 + -80
-24t + t2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80
-24t + t2 = -80

The t term is -24t.  Take half its coefficient (-12).
Square it (144) and add it to both sides.

Add '144' to each side of the equation.
-24t + 144 + t2 = -80 + 144

Reorder the terms:
144 + -24t + t2 = -80 + 144

Combine like terms: -80 + 144 = 64
144 + -24t + t2 = 64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -12)(t + -12) = 64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 8

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -12) equal to 8 and -8.

Subproblem 1

t + -12 = 8 Simplifying t + -12 = 8 Reorder the terms: -12 + t = 8 Solving -12 + t = 8 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12' to each side of the equation. -12 + 12 + t = 8 + 12 Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0 0 + t = 8 + 12 t = 8 + 12 Combine like terms: 8 + 12 = 20 t = 20 Simplifying t = 20

Subproblem 2

t + -12 = -8 Simplifying t + -12 = -8 Reorder the terms: -12 + t = -8 Solving -12 + t = -8 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12' to each side of the equation. -12 + 12 + t = -8 + 12 Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0 0 + t = -8 + 12 t = -8 + 12 Combine like terms: -8 + 12 = 4 t = 4 Simplifying t = 4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. t = {20, 4}
