Well I reworked the problem again and this time to get the acceleration for staic friction I multipled -0.90 x 9.81= -8.83 and to get the accelration for the kinetic friction multpiled -0.80 x 9.81 = -7.85. Finally I used vf^2=v0^2+2a(d) for each of the two acclrations but my answer was still wrong.
