If you can, use my equations correctly.
x' = (x-vt)/g
t' = t/g
For instance, x=cT, thus x'=(c-v)T/g.
Consider a stick of length (c-v)t in S, such as x1=vT and x2=cT
x1' = (vT-vT)/g = 0
x2' = (cT-vT)/g
x2'-x1' = (cT-vT)/g = (x2-x1)/g
L' = L/g, L' being the length of the stick in S'. It is obviously
contracted.
I will not repeat such elementary demonstration anymore.

I decided to go back and review this at a more basic level.
What is the right hand coordinate value of a meter stick on the x' axis, at rest in S', if its left end is at 0?

How many meter sticks does it take to cover the interval from 0 to L' along the x' axis?

How long is the interval from 0 to L'?
