Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.3333333333' to each side of the equation.
-0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333t + 0.3333333333 + t2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Reorder the terms:
-0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333t + t2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: -0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + 0.3333333333t + t2 = 0 + 0.3333333333
0.3333333333t + t2 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.3333333333 = 0.3333333333
0.3333333333t + t2 = 0.3333333333

The t term is t.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.3333333333t + 0.25 + t2 = 0.3333333333 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.3333333333t + t2 = 0.3333333333 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.3333333333 + 0.25 = 0.5833333333
0.25 + 0.3333333333t + t2 = 0.5833333333
