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

Divide each side by '3'.
-0.6666666667 + -5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6666666667' to each side of the equation.
-0.6666666667 + -5t + 0.6666666667 + t2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Reorder the terms:
-0.6666666667 + 0.6666666667 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Combine like terms: -0.6666666667 + 0.6666666667 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 0.6666666667
-5t + t2 = 0 + 0.6666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6666666667 = 0.6666666667
-5t + t2 = 0.6666666667

The t term is -5t.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5t + 6.25 + t2 = 0.6666666667 + 6.25
