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

Let x be the distance Triana travels on each of the remaining three days.
The total distance she travels over the remaining three days is 3 * x.
We know that the total distance of the bike ride is 120 miles and she traveled 24 miles on the first day, so the equation is:
24 + 3x = 120
Subtracting 24 from both sides, we get:
3x = 96
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 32
Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.
Therefore, the equation of the form px+q=r is 3x = 32.
