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

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

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

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

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The t term is -1t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1t + 0.25 + t2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1t + t2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + -1t + t2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.5)(t + -0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.5 = 1.118033989 Simplifying t + -0.5 = 1.118033989 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + t = 1.118033989 Solving -0.5 + t = 1.118033989 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + t = 1.118033989 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + t = 1.118033989 + 0.5 t = 1.118033989 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + 0.5 = 1.618033989 t = 1.618033989 Simplifying t = 1.618033989

Subproblem 2

t + -0.5 = -1.118033989 Simplifying t + -0.5 = -1.118033989 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + t = -1.118033989 Solving -0.5 + t = -1.118033989 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + t = -1.118033989 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + t = -1.118033989 + 0.5 t = -1.118033989 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + 0.5 = -0.618033989 t = -0.618033989 Simplifying t = -0.618033989
