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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.25 + -1.375t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -1.375t + 0.25 + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -1.375t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.375t + t2 = 0 + 0.25
-1.375t + t2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-1.375t + t2 = 0.25

The t term is -1.375t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6875).
