S=%28v1%2Bv2%29%5Et+%2F+2

Solving for any variable in a formula is a matter of undoing what was done to the variable you want solved.

Here will be listed only the number properties which justify the steps, but without actually showing those steps:

(!)___Multiplicative Inverse of %281%2F2%29;
(!)___Inverse power of t;
(!)___Additive Inverse of v1.

Only one of those reasons might seem confusing. If you have a expression b%5Ex, and you want to operate on this to have just b, then %28b%5Ex%29%5E%281%2Fx%29=b%5E%28%28x%29%281%2Fx%29%29=b%5E1=b.
