40 mph would be 120 miles in 3 hours (120/40)
80 mph is 120 miles in 1.5 hours(120/80)
3 - 1.5 = 1.5, not 3 hrs
Change the speed to 20 mph( 1/2 the speed) to double the hours.
20 mph = 6 hours(120/20)
40 mph = 3 hrs(120/40)
6 - 3 = 3 hours difference
14. 2x-1 = 0, x+7=0
x = 1/2, x = -7
15. x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
x = -5, x = 2
16. x^2 - 25 = 0
(x-5)(x+5)
x = 5, x = -5
x²(x - 4)(2x + 5) = 0
x² = 0 or x - 4 = 0 or 2x + 5 = 0
√x = √0 or x = 4 or 2x = -5
x = 0 x = 
Answer: 0, 4,
