Equations of Motion: Car Travels 60m/s for 10s

[failwhale]

A car with an initial velocity of 60m/s slows down with deceleration of -8m/s^2. How far will it have traveled after 10 seconds?

Hi failwhale, welcome to PF.

Can you write down the relevant kinematic equations?

S = u.t + 1/2. a. t^2

substitute the value and find the answer, okay.

One more thing. either use word "deceleration" or use minus sign. don't use it together otherwise it is acceleration.
