Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.25 + 0.9t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 0.9t + 0.25 + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 0.9t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.9t + t2 = 0 + 0.25
0.9t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.9t + t2 = 0.25

The t term is 0.9t.  Take half its coefficient (0.45).
Square it (0.2025) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.2025' to each side of the equation.
0.9t + 0.2025 + t2 = 0.25 + 0.2025

Reorder the terms:
0.2025 + 0.9t + t2 = 0.25 + 0.2025

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.2025 = 0.4525
0.2025 + 0.9t + t2 = 0.4525

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.45)(t + 0.45) = 0.4525

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.672681202

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + 0.45) equal to 0.672681202 and -0.672681202.
