Question

Hello. Answer is s=5.76m (how far the car travels when the driver slams brake on an inclined surface). I am uploading this question as the example answer's working out was so horrific I cannot follow through. I would like to see working out how the calculations equate to the answer being s=5.76m. 

 

Many thanks
