0 + -1.5t + t2 = 0 + 27
-1.5t + t2 = 0 + 27

Combine like terms: 0 + 27 = 27
-1.5t + t2 = 27

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 = 27 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 27 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 27 + 0.5625 = 27.5625
0.5625 + -1.5t + t2 = 27.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.75)(t + -0.75) = 27.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.75) equal to 5.25 and -5.25.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.75 = 5.25 Simplifying t + -0.75 = 5.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + t = 5.25 Solving -0.75 + t = 5.25 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + t = 5.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + t = 5.25 + 0.75 t = 5.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 5.25 + 0.75 = 6 t = 6 Simplifying t = 6

Subproblem 2

t + -0.75 = -5.25 Simplifying t + -0.75 = -5.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + t = -5.25 Solving -0.75 + t = -5.25 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + t = -5.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + t = -5.25 + 0.75 t = -5.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -5.25 + 0.75 = -4.5 t = -4.5 Simplifying t = -4.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. t = {6, -4.5}
