Derivation of Lorentz Time Transformation

[Eipi]

Homework Statement

Derive the Lorentz Time Transformation

Relevant Equations

g (I am using g instead of gamma)=1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
x'=(x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

I have to derive the Lorentz time transformation given the equation for gamma and the equation for the Lorentz space transformation.
I started by using relevant equations from the Space derivation done in class (also the one that Ramamurti Shankar does). Here is a picture of what I have tried. (Yes, I am using g instead of gamma).

You've made an arithmetic slip between the bottom of the first column and the top of the second. Correct that and it should come out right.

On the white board you write
[tex]x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}[/tex]
So you can expect by relativity with changing v to -v,
[tex]x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}[/tex]
It enables you to express t' by x and t.

I spotted my algebraic mistake! Thank you so much!
