how do i make this into an equation?

Question

2.	The distance traveled by a falling object is given by the formula d = 0.5gt2 where d = distance, g = the force of gravity, and t = time. Solve this equation for g, and use your formula to determine the force of gravity if a baseball takes 10 seconds to hit the ground after being dropped from a height of 480 feet. Show all steps in your work.

First I suggest that you convert 480 feet to metres. Converting to metres we get that 
480 feet = 146.304m (if you care about sig figs then it would be 146m).

Now we are given that the baseball travels 480 feet = 146.304m vertically in 10 seconds.
Plug these values in to the distance equation and solve for 'g':

146.304m = 0.5g(10 sec)^2
=> g = (146.304m) / (0.5 * 100 sec^2) = 2.926m/sec^2

so:
146 = .5(10)^2 right?

So it would be 146 = .5(10)^2
146 =  5^2
146 = 25
