Let's represent the distance Triana will travel each day as "x". Since Triana traveled 24 miles on the first day, the remaining distance she needs to cover over the next three days is 120 - 24 = 96 miles. Since she wants to travel equal amounts over the remaining three days, she will travel x miles each day. So, the equation would be 3x = 96. To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 32. Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.
