Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.4 + -2.8t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + -2.8t + 1.4 + t2 = 0 + 1.4

Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + 1.4 + -2.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.4
-2.8t + t2 = 0 + 1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.4 = 1.4
-2.8t + t2 = 1.4

The t term is -2.8t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.4).
Square it (1.96) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.96' to each side of the equation.
-2.8t + 1.96 + t2 = 1.4 + 1.96

Reorder the terms:
1.96 + -2.8t + t2 = 1.4 + 1.96

Combine like terms: 1.4 + 1.96 = 3.36
1.96 + -2.8t + t2 = 3.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.4)(t + -1.4) = 3.36

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.833030278
