t_{1}\left(-v+c\right)\left(-v-c\right)=\left(-v-c\right)D+\left(-c+v\right)D
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(-v+c\right)\left(-v-c\right), the least common multiple of c-v,c+v.
\left(-t_{1}v+t_{1}c\right)\left(-v-c\right)=\left(-v-c\right)D+\left(-c+v\right)D
Use the distributive property to multiply t_{1} by -v+c.
v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}=\left(-v-c\right)D+\left(-c+v\right)D
Use the distributive property to multiply -t_{1}v+t_{1}c by -v-c and combine like terms.
v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}=-vD-cD+\left(-c+v\right)D
Use the distributive property to multiply -v-c by D.
v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}=-vD-cD-cD+vD
Use the distributive property to multiply -c+v by D.
v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}=-vD-2cD+vD
Combine -cD and -cD to get -2cD.
v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}=-2cD
Combine -vD and vD to get 0.
-2cD=v^{2}t_{1}-t_{1}c^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(-2c\right)D=t_{1}v^{2}-t_{1}c^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2c\right)D}{-2c}=\frac{t_{1}\left(v-c\right)\left(v+c\right)}{-2c}
Divide both sides by -2c.
D=\frac{t_{1}\left(v-c\right)\left(v+c\right)}{-2c}
Dividing by -2c undoes the multiplication by -2c.
D=-\frac{t_{1}\left(v-c\right)\left(v+c\right)}{2c}
Divide t_{1}\left(v-c\right)\left(v+c\right) by -2c.
