I have to use this equation to get the answer (t)=time.
V=S+a*t
I divided t by both sides, but get a little confuse do I divide V by both sides as while is the answer:
t = V/s+a/S??
step 1:
V - S = at
Step 2:
now divide both sides by a
(V-S)/a = t , (the brackets are necessary when typing on here)
To isolate the variable t in the equation V = S + a*t, you need to perform algebraic manipulation step by step. Here's the correct process:
1. Start with the equation: V = S + a*t.
2. Subtract S from both sides of the equation to isolate the term involving t: V - S = a*t.
3. Divide both sides of the equation by a to solve for t: (V - S)/a = t.
So the correct equation, isolating t, is: t = (V - S)/a.
You only need to divide both sides of the equation by a, not by both S and a.
