simplify it more so its less robot sounding

Answer 2

Triana is going on a 120-mile bike ride over four days. On the first day, she rode 24 miles. She wants to ride the same distance each day for the next three days.

First, let's figure out how much distance she has left after the first day. We subtract the distance she already rode from the total distance:

120 miles - 24 miles = 96 miles.

Now, we need to find how far she will travel each day for the next three days. We can say that each day she will ride the same distance, which we will call \( x \).

Since she will ride for three days, we can write the equation:

3x = 96.

This means Triana will travel the same distance \( x \) on each of the three days. Now we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 96 miles / 3.

When we do the division, we get:

x = 32 miles.

So, Triana will travel 32 miles each day for the next three days.

In summary, Triana will bike 32 miles on each of the next three days after her first day.
