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 + -3.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -3.5t + -0.5 + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -3.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5
-3.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-3.5t + t2 = -0.5

The t term is -3.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5t + 3.0625 + t2 = -0.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5t + t2 = -0.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 3.0625 = 2.5625
3.0625 + -3.5t + t2 = 2.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.75)(t + -1.75) = 2.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.600781059
