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 + -1.4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -1.4t + 0.8 + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -1.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8
-1.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-1.4t + t2 = 0.8

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 = 0.8 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4t + t2 = 0.8 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.49 = 1.29
0.49 + -1.4t + t2 = 1.29

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.7)(t + -0.7) = 1.29

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.135781669

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.7) equal to 1.135781669 and -1.135781669.
