Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -3t + -1 + t2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -3t + t2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -3t + t2 = 0 + -1
-3t + t2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-3t + t2 = -1

The t term is -3t.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3t + 2.25 + t2 = -1 + 2.25
