Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.2 + -2.6t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + -2.6t + 3.2 + t2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + -2.6t + t2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.6t + t2 = 0 + 3.2
-2.6t + t2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
-2.6t + t2 = 3.2

The t term is -2.6t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.3).
Square it (1.69) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.69' to each side of the equation.
-2.6t + 1.69 + t2 = 3.2 + 1.69

Reorder the terms:
1.69 + -2.6t + t2 = 3.2 + 1.69

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 1.69 = 4.89
1.69 + -2.6t + t2 = 4.89

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.3)(t + -1.3) = 4.89

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.211334439

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -1.3) equal to 2.211334439 and -2.211334439.
