Let's suppose that Triana will travel x miles on each of the remaining three days.
On the first day, Triana traveled 24 miles.
On the remaining three days, she will travel a total of 3x miles.
This means the total distance Triana will travel on her bike ride is 24 + 3x miles.
According to the problem, the total distance of the bike ride is 120 miles. So we can write the equation:
24 + 3x = 120
To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Subtracting 24 from both sides, we get:
3x = 120 - 24
3x = 96
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
x = 96 / 3
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 three remaining days of her bike ride.
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.
