We get rid of parentheses
0.2t^2-16t+160=0
a = 0.2; b = -16; c = +160;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·0.2·160
Δ = 128
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{128}=\sqrt{64*2}=\sqrt{64}*\sqrt{2}=8\sqrt{2}$
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-8\sqrt{2}}{2*0.2}=\frac{16-8\sqrt{2}}{0.4} $
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+8\sqrt{2}}{2*0.2}=\frac{16+8\sqrt{2}}{0.4} $
