Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.25 + -1.25t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -1.25t + 0.25 + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -1.25t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.25t + t2 = 0 + 0.25
-1.25t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-1.25t + t2 = 0.25

The t term is -1.25t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.625).
Square it (0.390625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.390625' to each side of the equation.
-1.25t + 0.390625 + t2 = 0.25 + 0.390625

Reorder the terms:
0.390625 + -1.25t + t2 = 0.25 + 0.390625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.390625 = 0.640625
0.390625 + -1.25t + t2 = 0.640625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.625)(t + -0.625) = 0.640625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.80039053

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.625) equal to 0.80039053 and -0.80039053.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.625 = 0.80039053 Simplifying t + -0.625 = 0.80039053 Reorder the terms: -0.625 + t = 0.80039053 Solving -0.625 + t = 0.80039053 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.625' to each side of the equation. -0.625 + 0.625 + t = 0.80039053 + 0.625 Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.625 = 0.000 0.000 + t = 0.80039053 + 0.625 t = 0.80039053 + 0.625 Combine like terms: 0.80039053 + 0.625 = 1.42539053 t = 1.42539053 Simplifying t = 1.42539053

Subproblem 2

t + -0.625 = -0.80039053 Simplifying t + -0.625 = -0.80039053 Reorder the terms: -0.625 + t = -0.80039053 Solving -0.625 + t = -0.80039053 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.625' to each side of the equation. -0.625 + 0.625 + t = -0.80039053 + 0.625 Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.625 = 0.000 0.000 + t = -0.80039053 + 0.625 t = -0.80039053 + 0.625 Combine like terms: -0.80039053 + 0.625 = -0.17539053 t = -0.17539053 Simplifying t = -0.17539053
