Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3.5 + -1.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + -1.5t + 3.5 + t2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 3.5
-1.5t + t2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
-1.5t + t2 = 3.5

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 = 3.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 3.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 0.5625 = 4.0625
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 4.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.75)(t + -0.75) = 4.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.015564437
