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 + -0.25t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -0.25t + 1 + t2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + -0.25t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -0.25t + t2 = 0 + 1
-0.25t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-0.25t + t2 = 1

The t term is -0.25t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25t + 0.015625 + t2 = 1 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + -0.25t + t2 = 1 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.015625 = 1.015625
0.015625 + -0.25t + t2 = 1.015625
