Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + 0.8t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + 0.8t + 1.6 + t2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + 0.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.6
0.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
0.8t + t2 = 1.6

The t term is 0.8t.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8t + 0.16 + t2 = 1.6 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8t + t2 = 1.6 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.16 = 1.76
0.16 + 0.8t + t2 = 1.76

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.4)(t + 0.4) = 1.76

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.326649916

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + 0.4) equal to 1.326649916 and -1.326649916.
