Solving for Distance with Constant Acceleration: d=Vave*t

I have a question regarding the formula d=Vave*t
can this formula be used when you have constant acceleration ?

Yes it can. In this case the average velocity is half the sum of the velocity at the beginning of time interval t plus the velocity at the end of time time interval t. In other words

d = (v_initial + v_final) t/2
