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

Divide each side by '4'.
-6.25 + -5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-6.25 + -5t + 6.25 + t2 = 0 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
-6.25 + 6.25 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -6.25 + 6.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 6.25
-5t + t2 = 0 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 6.25 = 6.25
-5t + t2 = 6.25

The t term is -5t.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
