A van travelling at 23 m/s starts decelerating uniformly at 2.0 m/s²

as it heads towards a built-up area 112 m away.
What will its speed be when it reaches the built-up area?

9 m/s
Use kinematic equation. The acceleration would be negative because the problem said decelerating. See the attached photo.
