Please help me with a basic math equation


I've already done the Physics part, but now I am stuck with the equation 2h = vt + gt^2

It's just a variable problem, so no numbers are involved, just variables. Now I just need help solving for t.

You have a quadratic equation, so you'll have to solve for "t" using the quadratic formula.

Does this help?
