You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you decelerate (negative acceleration) at 6m/sec^2 for 4 seconds, then you reduce you present velocity by:
(6m/sec^2)*(4sec) = 24m/sec. If your present velocity is 70 m/s, you would subtract 24m/s from this to get you final velocity.
70m/s - 24m/s = 46m/s.
