Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
0.625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation.
0.625 + -2.5t + -0.625 + t2 = 0 + -0.625

Reorder the terms:
0.625 + -0.625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.625
-2.5t + t2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.625 = -0.625
-2.5t + t2 = -0.625

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 = -0.625 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = -0.625 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -0.625 + 1.5625 = 0.9375
1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 0.9375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -1.25)(t + -1.25) = 0.9375

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.968245837

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -1.25) equal to 0.968245837 and -0.968245837.

Subproblem 1

t + -1.25 = 0.968245837 Simplifying t + -1.25 = 0.968245837 Reorder the terms: -1.25 + t = 0.968245837 Solving -1.25 + t = 0.968245837 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.25' to each side of the equation. -1.25 + 1.25 + t = 0.968245837 + 1.25 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + t = 0.968245837 + 1.25 t = 0.968245837 + 1.25 Combine like terms: 0.968245837 + 1.25 = 2.218245837 t = 2.218245837 Simplifying t = 2.218245837
