Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-17.2 + -0.8t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '17.2' to each side of the equation.
-17.2 + -0.8t + 17.2 + t2 = 0 + 17.2

Reorder the terms:
-17.2 + 17.2 + -0.8t + t2 = 0 + 17.2

Combine like terms: -17.2 + 17.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8t + t2 = 0 + 17.2
-0.8t + t2 = 0 + 17.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 17.2 = 17.2
-0.8t + t2 = 17.2

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 = 17.2 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8t + t2 = 17.2 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 17.2 + 0.16 = 17.36
0.16 + -0.8t + t2 = 17.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.4)(t + -0.4) = 17.36

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.166533331

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.4) equal to 4.166533331 and -4.166533331.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.4 = 4.166533331 Simplifying t + -0.4 = 4.166533331 Reorder the terms: -0.4 + t = 4.166533331 Solving -0.4 + t = 4.166533331 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.4' to each side of the equation. -0.4 + 0.4 + t = 4.166533331 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + t = 4.166533331 + 0.4 t = 4.166533331 + 0.4 Combine like terms: 4.166533331 + 0.4 = 4.566533331 t = 4.566533331 Simplifying t = 4.566533331

Subproblem 2

t + -0.4 = -4.166533331 Simplifying t + -0.4 = -4.166533331 Reorder the terms: -0.4 + t = -4.166533331 Solving -0.4 + t = -4.166533331 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.4' to each side of the equation. -0.4 + 0.4 + t = -4.166533331 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + t = -4.166533331 + 0.4 t = -4.166533331 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -4.166533331 + 0.4 = -3.766533331 t = -3.766533331 Simplifying t = -3.766533331
