Let's call the distance Triana travels on each of the remaining three days "x". So, on the second day, she will travel x miles, on the third day, she will travel x miles again, and on the fourth day, she will travel x miles again.
To find the total distance Triana travels over these three days, we add up the distances: x + x + x = 3x.
According to the problem, Triana is on a 120-mile four-day bike ride. We know that on the first day she travels 24 miles, so the total distance she traveled over the four days is 24 + 3x.
We can set up an equation: 24 + 3x = 120.
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself on one side of the equation. We can start by subtracting 24 from both sides: 3x = 120 - 24. Simplifying, we have: 3x = 96.
To further solve for x, we divide both sides by 3: (3x)/3 = 96/3. This gives us: x = 32.
Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.
In summary, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days because when we add up the distances and solve the equation, we find that 24 + 3(32) = 120.
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.

can you make that shorter please
Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days. This is because the equation 24 + 3x = 120, where x represents the distance traveled on each of the remaining three days, simplifies to x = 32.
