In summary, the conversation is about trying to find the value of I by rearranging the equation mgh = (2y^2/t^2)(m+I/r^2). The person is having some trouble with the rearrangement and is asking for help. They are advised to multiply r^2 to both sides of the equation and then subtract m. The person is also encouraged to learn LaTex for writing equations in the future.

You can't multiply only one side of the equation
But you're close. BTW You have two possibilities
