(t + 2.75)(t + 2.75) = 27.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + 2.75) equal to 5.25 and -5.25.


Subproblem 1
t + 2.75 = 5.25

Simplifying
t + 2.75 = 5.25

Reorder the terms:
2.75 + t = 5.25

Solving
2.75 + t = 5.25

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.75' to each side of the equation.
2.75 + -2.75 + t = 5.25 + -2.75

Combine like terms: 2.75 + -2.75 = 0.00
0.00 + t = 5.25 + -2.75
t = 5.25 + -2.75

Combine like terms: 5.25 + -2.75 = 2.5
t = 2.5

Simplifying
t = 2.5


Subproblem 2
t + 2.75 = -5.25

Simplifying
t + 2.75 = -5.25

Reorder the terms:
2.75 + t = -5.25

Solving
2.75 + t = -5.25

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.75' to each side of the equation.
2.75 + -2.75 + t = -5.25 + -2.75

Combine like terms: 2.75 + -2.75 = 0.00
0.00 + t = -5.25 + -2.75
t = -5.25 + -2.75

Combine like terms: -5.25 + -2.75 = -8
t = -8

Simplifying
t = -8


Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
t = {2.5, -8}
