First, we must determine how the equation is interpreted.
[tex]v_2 = v_1 + at[/tex]
a and t are multiplied, and v1 is added to the product.
Subtract v1 from both sides:
[tex]v_2 - v_1 = at[/tex]
Divide both sides by t so that you can get a by itself. The following equation is your answer:
[tex]\frac{v_2 - v_1}{t} = a[/tex]
