To make
\displaystyle\sf A the subject in the equation
\displaystyle\sf S = t(u + (1)/(2) At), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute
\displaystyle\sf t to
\displaystyle\sf u and
\displaystyle\sf (1)/(2) At:


\displaystyle\sf S = tu + (1)/(2) At^2

2. Move
\displaystyle\sf tu to the right side of the equation:


\displaystyle\sf S - tu = (1)/(2) At^2

3. Multiply both sides of the equation by
\displaystyle\sf (2)/(t^2) to isolate
\displaystyle\sf A:


\displaystyle\sf A = (2(S - tu))/(t^2)

Therefore, the equation
\displaystyle\sf S = t(u + (1)/(2) At) can be rewritten as
\displaystyle\sf A = (2(S - tu))/(t^2) with
\displaystyle\sf A as the subject.
