Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-4 + 1.6t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 1.6t + 4 + t2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 1.6t + t2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 1.6t + t2 = 0 + 4
1.6t + t2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
1.6t + t2 = 4

The t term is 1.6t.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6t + 0.64 + t2 = 4 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6t + t2 = 4 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.64 = 4.64
0.64 + 1.6t + t2 = 4.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.8)(t + 0.8) = 4.64
