Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -4t + -1.5 + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -1.5
-4t + t2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
-4t + t2 = -1.5

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 = -1.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = -1.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 4 = 2.5
4 + -4t + t2 = 2.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2)(t + -2) = 2.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.58113883

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -2) equal to 1.58113883 and -1.58113883.
