Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.75 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.75' to each side of the equation.
-1.75 + -4t + 1.75 + t2 = 0 + 1.75

Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 1.75 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1.75
-4t + t2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75
-4t + t2 = 1.75

The t term is -4t.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
