Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.125 + -1.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + -1.5t + 0.125 + t2 = 0 + 0.125

Reorder the terms:
-0.125 + 0.125 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.125
-1.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.125 = 0.125
-1.5t + t2 = 0.125

The t term is -1.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5t + 0.5625 + t2 = 0.125 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 0.125 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 0.125 + 0.5625 = 0.6875
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 0.6875

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.75)(t + -0.75) = 0.6875

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.829156198
