Question

Bot 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.

Let's represent the distance Triana will travel on each of the remaining three days as "x". According to the information given, the total distance Triana will travel is 120 miles.

On the first day, Triana traveled 24 miles. Therefore, the equation representing the total distance is: 24 + 3x = 120.

To solve for "x", we need to isolate the variable. Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

3x = 120 - 24
3x = 96

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 96/3
x = 32

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

Sentence explaining the answer: To ensure that Triana travels equal distances on each of the remaining three days, she needs to ride 32 miles each day, resulting in a total of 96 miles for those three days.

Answer 3

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it:

If Triana traveled 24 miles on the first day, then she has 120 - 24 = 96 miles left to travel over the remaining three days.

To find the distance she will travel on each of the remaining three days, we divide the total remaining distance (96 miles) by the number of days (3).

Therefore, Triana will travel 96 / 3 = 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

My apologies for any confusion caused by the previous incorrect explanation.
