Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + -4t + 1.25 + t2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1.25
-4t + t2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
-4t + t2 = 1.25

The t term is -4t.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4t + 4 + t2 = 1.25 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = 1.25 + 4

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 4 = 5.25
4 + -4t + t2 = 5.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2)(t + -2) = 5.25
