physics acceleration resultant forces question

a 1500kg car accelerates at 1.5m/s^2 along a horizontal road.If the frictional forces acting against the car's motion total 1000N, what driving force is exerted on the road by the car's wheels?

pls help
I used f=ma to give total force as 2250N and subtracted 1000(frictional force) from this to give me 1250N as a driving force.
However this answer is wrong and I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Why have you subtracted 1000?

Write out the equation of motion properly

F=ma?

you

you would add on the 1000 frictional force, as the 2250 is the EXTRA force that is required to accelerate.

I still don't get why u add 2250 and 1000

because it is asking for just the driving force. Not the sum of the frictional forces and the driving force
