s=\frac{at}{2}+v_{0}t+s_{0}
Express \frac{a}{2}t as a single fraction.
\frac{at}{2}+v_{0}t+s_{0}=s
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{at}{2}+s_{0}=s-v_{0}t
Subtract v_{0}t from both sides.
\frac{at}{2}=s-v_{0}t-s_{0}
Subtract s_{0} from both sides.
at=2s-2v_{0}t-2s_{0}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
ta=2s-2s_{0}-2tv_{0}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ta}{t}=\frac{2s-2s_{0}-2tv_{0}}{t}
Divide both sides by t.
a=\frac{2s-2s_{0}-2tv_{0}}{t}
Dividing by t undoes the multiplication by t.
a=\frac{2\left(s-s_{0}-tv_{0}\right)}{t}
Divide 2s-2v_{0}t-2s_{0} by t.
