The equation that can be used to find the distance drilled each day is:

(121.175 - x) + (121.175 - x) + (121.175 - x) + (121.175 - x) + (121.175 - x) = -246.875

This equation represents the initial elevation of 121.175 feet minus the distance drilled each day (x), repeated for 5 days, equaling the final elevation of -246.875 feet.
