Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + -8t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -8t + -1.5 + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + -8t + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -8t + t2 = 0 + -1.5
-8t + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
-8t + t2 = -1.5

The t term is -8t.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-8t + 16 + t2 = -1.5 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -8t + t2 = -1.5 + 16

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 16 = 14.5
16 + -8t + t2 = 14.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -4)(t + -4) = 14.5
