I tried rearranging the formula multiple times but the answers I got made no sense.
The equation I have to use is a=(v2-v1)/t
I need to solve for v2
v1=1
a=2.27
t=3.88
If you cold help me rearrange the formula correctly that'd be great!
Thanks!

Show one of these times, at least.

I've moved your thread to our schoolwork forums, Ande. That is where schoolwork questions should be asked.

Please show us what you have tried so far. We will help you work through it.
 
One would assume you really mean for the post-digits to be subscripts.

Multiply both sides by t.
Add v sub one to both sides.
