Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5 + 2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 2.5t + 5 + t2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5
2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
2.5t + t2 = 5

The t term is 2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 5 + 1.5625
