4t-4=8t^2

Solution for 4t-4=8t^2 equation:

Simplifying
4t + -4 = 8t2

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4t = 8t2

Solving
-4 + 4t = 8t2

Solving for variable 't'.

Combine like terms: 8t2 + -8t2 = 0
-4 + 4t + -8t2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4'.
4(-1 + t + -2t2) = 0

Ignore the factor 4.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-1 + t + -2t2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + t + -2t2 = 0

Solving
-1 + t + -2t2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
0.5 + -0.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5t + -0.5 + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -0.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5
-0.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-0.5t + t2 = -0.5

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.
-0.5t + 0.25 + t2 = -0.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.5t + t2 = -0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.25 = -0.25
0.25 + -0.5t + t2 = -0.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.5)(t + 0.5) = -0.25

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
