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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.6 + -1.6t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + -1.6t + 0.6 + t2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + -1.6t + t2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.6t + t2 = 0 + 0.6
-1.6t + t2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
-1.6t + t2 = 0.6

The t term is -1.6t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6t + 0.64 + t2 = 0.6 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6t + t2 = 0.6 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.6 + 0.64 = 1.24
0.64 + -1.6t + t2 = 1.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.8)(t + -0.8) = 1.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.113552873

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.8) equal to 1.113552873 and -1.113552873.
