Answer

\[g=\frac{s-vt}{{{t}^{2}}}\]

Work Step by Step

An expression can be solved for a variable by performing various mathematical operations to isolate a specified variable on one side of the expression. The equation can be solved for \[g\] as follows: \[vt+g{{t}^{2}}=s\] Subtract the quantity \[vt\] from both sides of the expression. This gives, \[\begin{align} & vt+g{{t}^{2}}-vt=s-vt \\ & g{{t}^{2}}=s-vt \end{align}\] Divide the quantity\[{{t}^{2}}\]into both sides of the expression which gives, \[\begin{align} & \frac{g{{t}^{2}}}{{{t}^{2}}}=\frac{s-vt}{{{t}^{2}}} \\ & g=\frac{s-vt}{{{t}^{2}}} \\ \end{align}\]
