If it's an automatic transmission vehicle, it'll actually be the brake - most auto trans cars have a safety feature which requires the brake to be depressed before it can be shifted from park into gear. That would be the pedal on the left, then the shift column could be in the center in front of the console, mounted on the steering column, or - in the instance of medium/heavy-duty vehicles with the Allison automatic transmission - a box with push buttons which is typically mounted on or integral to the dash.
Once you've got the vehicle in gear, then you'd use the accelerator pedal (the one on the right) to increase or decrease the flow of fuel to the engine, and this is how you'd adjust your speed.
With a manual transmission vehicle, it's a little more tricky - the clutch is on the left, the brake is in the middle, and the accelerator is on the right. You'll want to hold the brake and clutch in simultaneously while you ensure the parking brake is released (depending on the vehicle, it could be either in the center console or to the left of the clutch pedal), then keep those pedals depressed while you put the car into gear. From there, you'll want to transition your foot from the brake to the accelerator as you release the clutch pedal, being careful not to allow the vehicle to roll, and also being careful not to stall the vehicle - this takes practice. The accelerator will be used in conjunction with the clutch and gear shifter to control vehicle speed.
