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 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -4t + -0.5 + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -0.5
-4t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-4t + t2 = -0.5

The t term is -4t.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4t + 4 + t2 = -0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = -0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 4 = 3.5
4 + -4t + t2 = 3.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2)(t + -2) = 3.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.870828693

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -2) equal to 1.870828693 and -1.870828693.
