Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 3t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 3t + -0.5 + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 3t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3t + t2 = 0 + -0.5
3t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
3t + t2 = -0.5

The t term is 3t.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3t + 2.25 + t2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3t + t2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 2.25 = 1.75
2.25 + 3t + t2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 1.5)(t + 1.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + 1.5) equal to 1.322875656 and -1.322875656.

Subproblem 1

t + 1.5 = 1.322875656 Simplifying t + 1.5 = 1.322875656 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + t = 1.322875656 Solving 1.5 + t = 1.322875656 Solving for variable 't'.
