Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.8'.
3.125 + -5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.125' to each side of the equation.
3.125 + -5t + -3.125 + t2 = 0 + -3.125

Reorder the terms:
3.125 + -3.125 + -5t + t2 = 0 + -3.125

Combine like terms: 3.125 + -3.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -5t + t2 = 0 + -3.125
-5t + t2 = 0 + -3.125

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.125 = -3.125
-5t + t2 = -3.125

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 = -3.125 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5t + t2 = -3.125 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -3.125 + 6.25 = 3.125
6.25 + -5t + t2 = 3.125
