acceleration is the derivative of velocity, and acceleration is given.
because there is acceleration, your velocity is not going to be constant.

so, you can integrate your acceleration " -.06t " to get -.03(t^2) +C
VELOCITY EQUATION , V(t)=-.03(t^2) +C , Set t=0 and solve initial condition .V=200

velocity is the derivative of position, so you can integrate your velocity equ to get the position equ

would the acceleration equation be x0 + v0t -.03t^2?

I think you mean the position equation, if so, still no
you gotta integrate the velocity equation
you'll have a polynomial with a 3rd power

your problem does not have a constant acceleration
