Answer 2

Thana 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? White and solve an equation of the form pc + q = r Then write a sentence to explain your answer. (4 points)

Answer 3

To solve this problem, let's represent the distance that Thana will travel on each of the remaining three days as "x." We know that on the first day, she travels 24 miles. So, the total distance she will travel over the remaining three days is 3x. The equation to represent this situation is:

24 + 3x = 120

To solve for x, we can subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

3x = 120 - 24
3x = 96

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find the value of x:

x = 96/3
x = 32

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

Sentence to explain the answer: To find out how far Thana will travel on each of the remaining three days, we solved the equation 24 + 3x = 120, and determined that she will travel a distance of 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.
