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

Divide each side by '16'.
0.1875 + 7.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.1875' to each side of the equation.
0.1875 + 7.5t + -0.1875 + t2 = 0 + -0.1875

Reorder the terms:
0.1875 + -0.1875 + 7.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.1875

Combine like terms: 0.1875 + -0.1875 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 7.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.1875
7.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.1875

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.1875 = -0.1875
7.5t + t2 = -0.1875

The t term is 7.5t.  Take half its coefficient (3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
7.5t + 14.0625 + t2 = -0.1875 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + 7.5t + t2 = -0.1875 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: -0.1875 + 14.0625 = 13.875
14.0625 + 7.5t + t2 = 13.875
