Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7.5 + -7.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + -7.5t + 7.5 + t2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + -7.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -7.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5
-7.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
-7.5t + t2 = 7.5

The t term is -7.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
-7.5t + 14.0625 + t2 = 7.5 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + -7.5t + t2 = 7.5 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 14.0625 = 21.5625
14.0625 + -7.5t + t2 = 21.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -3.75)(t + -3.75) = 21.5625
