Let's assume that Triana will travel x miles on each of the three remaining days.

Therefore, the total distance Triana will travel on those three days is 3x miles.
We know that the total distance is 120 miles, so we can write the equation as:
23 + 3x = 120
To get the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 23 from both sides:
3x = 97
Now, to solve for x, we will divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 97/3

Therefore, Triana will travel approximately 32.33 miles on each of the three remaining days.
