Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5 + -2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -2.5t + 5 + t2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5
-2.5t + t2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-2.5t + t2 = 5

The t term is -2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 5 + 1.5625 = 6.5625
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 6.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.25)(t + -1.25) = 6.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.561737691
