Answer:

It's a kinematic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

x displacement = (velocity_final * time) - (0.5 * acceleration * time * time)

You should be given a value, context(word problem), or diagram.

If you're deriving for a term just isolate the term.

If you're asking why the -(0.5 * acceleration * time * time) is negative instead of positive, would need context.
