Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(

In the answer, it gives a formula f-ff=m(0) and afterwards simplies into 120 - ff = 0 and further into ff=120N. My question is how do you not have to divide by 0 to finish the equation if that makes sense. To simply further why are we able to ignore the m(0) portion?
