-1 + -3t + 2t2 = 0

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 + -1.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -1.5t + 0.5 + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.5
-1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-1.5t + t2 = 0.5

The t term is -1.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5t + 0.5625 + t2 = 0.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 0.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.5625 = 1.0625
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 1.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.75)(t + -0.75) = 1.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.030776406

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.75) equal to 1.030776406 and -1.030776406.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.75 = 1.030776406 Simplifying t + -0.75 = 1.030776406 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + t = 1.030776406 Solving -0.75 + t = 1.030776406 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + t = 1.030776406 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + t = 1.030776406 + 0.75 t = 1.030776406 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 1.030776406 + 0.75 = 1.780776406 t = 1.780776406 Simplifying t = 1.780776406
