Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.08 + 0.16t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.08' to each side of the equation.
-0.08 + 0.16t + 0.08 + t2 = 0 + 0.08

Reorder the terms:
-0.08 + 0.08 + 0.16t + t2 = 0 + 0.08

Combine like terms: -0.08 + 0.08 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.16t + t2 = 0 + 0.08
0.16t + t2 = 0 + 0.08

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.08 = 0.08
0.16t + t2 = 0.08

The t term is 0.16t.  Take half its coefficient (0.08).
Square it (0.0064) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0064' to each side of the equation.
0.16t + 0.0064 + t2 = 0.08 + 0.0064

Reorder the terms:
0.0064 + 0.16t + t2 = 0.08 + 0.0064

Combine like terms: 0.08 + 0.0064 = 0.0864
0.0064 + 0.16t + t2 = 0.0864

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.08)(t + 0.08) = 0.0864

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.293938769
