How do you solve for g in $S = \frac{1}{2} g t$ $S = 1/2g t$ ?

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{t}$ $2/t$

Explanation:

Given
$XXX S = \frac{1}{2} g t$ $color(white)("XXX")S=1/2g t$

Then
$XXX S \times \frac{2}{t} = \frac{1}{2} g t \times \frac{2}{t}$ $color(white)("XXX")Scolor(cyan)(xx2/t)=1/2 g tcolor(cyan)(xx2/t)$

$\to XX \frac{2 S}{t} = g$ $rarrcolor(white)("XX")(2S)/t= g$
or
$XXX g = \frac{2 S}{t}$ $color(white)("XXX")g=(2S)/t$
