8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-1.125 + 2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.125' to each side of the equation.
-1.125 + 2.5t + 1.125 + t2 = 0 + 1.125

Reorder the terms:
-1.125 + 1.125 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: -1.125 + 1.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 2.5t + t2 = 0 + 1.125
2.5t + t2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.125 = 1.125
2.5t + t2 = 1.125

The t term is 2.5t.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 1.125 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5t + t2 = 1.125 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 1.125 + 1.5625 = 2.6875
1.5625 + 2.5t + t2 = 2.6875
