Figure out a way to isolate t by subtracting and dividing

Explanation:

You goal is to isolate t from the other variables.
Let's begin like we always do when dealing with equations; add or subtract.

In this case, we want to subtract u from both sides.
v - u = u + at - u
v - u = at

Then, we want to divide both sides by a so we isolate the t:
(v - u)/a = (cancel(a)t)/cancel(a)
t = (v-u)/a
