You are driving a kg car at a constant speed of m/s along an icy, but straight, level road. As you approach an intersection, the traffic light turns red. You slam on the brakes. Your wheels lock, the tires begin skidding, and the car slides to a halt in a distance of m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the icy road?

I don't understand how to go at this problem, and the text book just gives an equation that makes no sense.
I'm sorry, for all I know this could be easy. But I don't know... I'm just stuck with a text book that doesn't explain it at all.
Again I DO NOT want the answers just handed to me, I just need help figuring out how to work through the problem.
