Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.8 + -4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation.
0.8 + -4t + -0.8 + t2 = 0 + -0.8

Reorder the terms:
0.8 + -0.8 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -4t + t2 = 0 + -0.8
-4t + t2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.8 = -0.8
-4t + t2 = -0.8

The t term is -4t.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4t + 4 + t2 = -0.8 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4t + t2 = -0.8 + 4
