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.

Answer 1

Let x represent the distance Triana will travel on each of the remaining three days.

The total distance of the bike ride is 120 miles, and she travels 24 miles on the first day. Therefore, the total distance she will travel on the remaining three days is 120 - 24 = 96 miles.

Since she wants to travel equal amounts over the three days, we can set up the equation:

3x = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 32

Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days. This can be written as:

3(32) = 96

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