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 + -1.4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1.4t + 4 + t2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1.4t + t2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1.4t + t2 = 0 + 4
-1.4t + t2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1.4t + t2 = 4

The t term is -1.4t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4t + 0.49 + t2 = 4 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4t + t2 = 4 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.49 = 4.49
0.49 + -1.4t + t2 = 4.49

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.7)(t + -0.7) = 4.49

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.11896201

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.7) equal to 2.11896201 and -2.11896201.
