-2.666666667 + 2.666666667 + -1t + t2 = 0 + 2.666666667

Combine like terms: -2.666666667 + 2.666666667 = 0.000000000
0.000000000 + -1t + t2 = 0 + 2.666666667
-1t + t2 = 0 + 2.666666667

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.666666667 = 2.666666667
-1t + t2 = 2.666666667

The t term is -1t.  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.
-1t + 0.25 + t2 = 2.666666667 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1t + t2 = 2.666666667 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.666666667 + 0.25 = 2.916666667
0.25 + -1t + t2 = 2.916666667
