Solve for g then t:
d+=+%281%2F2%29gt%5E2 Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction.
2d+=+gt%5E2 Now divide both sides by t%5E2
2d%2Ft%5E2+=+g or highlight%28g+=+2d%2Ft%5E2%29
Solve for t:
d+=+%281%2F2%29gt%5E2 Multiply both sides by 2.
2d+=+gt%5E2 Divide both sides by g
2d%2Fg+=+t%5E2 Finally, take the square root of both sides.
sqrt%282d%2Fg%29+=+t or highlight%28t+=+sqrt%282d%2Fg%29%29
