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)

Let's assume that Triana will travel x miles on each of the remaining three days.

On the first day, Triana traveled 24 miles.
Over the remaining three days, she will travel a total of 3x miles.

So the equation that represents this situation can be written as:
24 + 3x = 120

To solve for x, we first subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:
3x = 120 - 24
3x = 96

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:
x = 96 / 3
x = 32

Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

Sentence explaining the answer:
Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days, in order to have an equal amount of distance traveled on each day and reach the total distance of 120 miles.
