Question

Triana is on a 120-mile four-day bike ride. On the first day she travels 24 miles. She would like to travel equal amounts over the remaining three days. How far will she travel on each of those three days? Write and solve an equation of the form px+q=r . Then write a sentence to explain your answer.(4 points)

Answer 1

i got a zero on the test

Answer 2

Did you actually get a zero on the test?

Answer 3

Let's let x represent the distance Triana travels on each of the remaining three days.

From the problem, we know that on the first day, she travels 24 miles. So the total distance she travels on the remaining three days is 3x.

We want the total distance she travels on the remaining three days to be equal to 120 - 24 = 96 miles.

So we can set up the equation:

3x = 96

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 32

Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

Sentence to explain the answer: Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days to cover a total distance of 96 miles.
