Solving for variable 't'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + -5t + 15 + t2 = 0 + 15

Reorder the terms:
-15 + 15 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + -5t + t2 = 0 + 15
-5t + t2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
-5t + t2 = 15

The t term is -5t.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5t + 6.25 + t2 = 15 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5t + t2 = 15 + 6.25
