Solving
250 = 40t + -0.8t2

Solving for variable 't'.

Reorder the terms:
250 + -40t + 0.8t2 = 40t + -40t + -0.8t2 + 0.8t2

Combine like terms: 40t + -40t = 0
250 + -40t + 0.8t2 = 0 + -0.8t2 + 0.8t2
250 + -40t + 0.8t2 = -0.8t2 + 0.8t2

Combine like terms: -0.8t2 + 0.8t2 = 0.0
250 + -40t + 0.8t2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '0.8'.
312.5 + -50t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-312.5' to each side of the equation.
312.5 + -50t + -312.5 + t2 = 0 + -312.5

Reorder the terms:
312.5 + -312.5 + -50t + t2 = 0 + -312.5

Combine like terms: 312.5 + -312.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -50t + t2 = 0 + -312.5
-50t + t2 = 0 + -312.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -312.5 = -312.5
-50t + t2 = -312.5

The t term is -50t.  Take half its coefficient (-25).
Square it (625) and add it to both sides.

Add '625' to each side of the equation.
-50t + 625 + t2 = -312.5 + 625
