Let's call the distance Triana travels on each of the remaining three days "x".

On the first day, Triana travels 24 miles.

For the remaining three days, she wants to travel equal amounts, so she will travel a distance of "x" on each of those days.

To find out how far she will travel on each of the remaining three days, we need to solve the equation:

3x = 120 - 24

Simplifying the equation:
3x = 96

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 32

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

So, the equation in the form px+q=r is 3x + 0 = 96, where p = 3, q = 0, and r = 96.

My apologies for the error in my previous response. There is indeed a mistake in the equation I provided. Let's correct it.

To find out how far Triana will travel on each of the remaining three days, we can set up the equation:

3x = 120 - 24

Simplifying the equation:
3x = 96

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 32

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

So, the correct equation in the form px+q=r is: 3x + 0 = 96, where p = 3, q = 0, and r = 96.
