China is on a 120 mile 4 day.S right on the 1st day she travels 24 miles.She would like to travel equal amounts over the remaining 3 days.How far will she travel on each of those 3 days?Write and solve an equation in the form p.X plus q equal, R.Then write a sentence to explain your answer

1 answer

To determine how far China will travel over the remaining 3 days, we can set up the following equation.

Let \( x \) be the distance she travels each day over the remaining 3 days. Since she has already traveled 24 miles on the first day, the total distance she needs to travel is 120 miles.

The equation can be expressed as:

\[ 24 + 3x = 120 \]

Here,

  • \( p = 3 \)
  • \( q = 24 \)
  • \( R = 120 \)

Now, let's solve the equation for \( x \):

  1. Subtract 24 from both sides:

\[ 3x = 120 - 24 \] \[ 3x = 96 \]

  1. Divide both sides by 3:

\[ x = \frac{96}{3} \] \[ x = 32 \]

So, China will travel 32 miles each day for the remaining 3 days.

To summarize in a sentence: China will travel 32 miles each of the next 3 days to complete her goal of 120 miles.
