-6 + -3t + t2 = 0

Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -3t + 6 + t2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -3t + t2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -3t + t2 = 0 + 6
-3t + t2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-3t + t2 = 6

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 = 6 + 2.25
