u^{2}-2gh=v^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2gh=v^{2}-u^{2}
Subtract u^{2} from both sides.
\left(-2h\right)g=v^{2}-u^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2h\right)g}{-2h}=\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{-2h}
Divide both sides by -2h.
g=\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{-2h}
Dividing by -2h undoes the multiplication by -2h.
g=-\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{2h}
Divide \left(v+u\right)\left(v-u\right) by -2h.
u^{2}-2gh=v^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2gh=v^{2}-u^{2}
Subtract u^{2} from both sides.
\left(-2g\right)h=v^{2}-u^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2g\right)h}{-2g}=\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{-2g}
Divide both sides by -2g.
h=\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{-2g}
Dividing by -2g undoes the multiplication by -2g.
h=-\frac{\left(v-u\right)\left(u+v\right)}{2g}
Divide \left(v+u\right)\left(v-u\right) by -2g.
