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

Answer 1

wright your answer like px+q=r

Answer 2

Let's say Triana will travel x miles on each of the remaining three days.

On the first day, she travels 24 miles.

On the remaining three days, she will travel a total of 3x miles.

So the total distance she will travel on the four-day bike ride is 24 + 3x miles.

According to the problem, Triana is on a 120-mile four-day bike ride.

Therefore, the equation becomes: 24 + 3x = 120.

To solve this equation, we subtract 24 from both sides: 3x = 96.

Then, we divide both sides by 3: x = 32.

Hence, she will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

Answer 3

Let's represent the distance Triana will travel on each of the remaining three days as x.

So, px + q = r becomes 3x + 24 = 120.

To solve this equation, we subtract 24 from both sides: 3x = 96.

Then, we divide both sides by 3: x = 32.

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