Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-13 + 2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + 2.5t + 13 + t2 = 0 + 13

Reorder the terms:
-13 + 13 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0
0 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 13
2.5t + t2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: 0 + 13 = 13
2.5t + t2 = 13

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 = 13 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5t + t2 = 13 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 13 + 1.5625 = 14.5625
1.5625 + 2.5t + t2 = 14.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 1.25)(t + 1.25) = 14.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.816084381
