Triana is on a 120 mile four day bike ride. On the first day she rides 24 miles. She would like to travel the same amount over the next 3 days. How far will she travel on each day on each of those days. Write the equation as a px+q=r
_x+q=r
Let's assume Triana travels the same distance on each of the next 3 days. Let this distance be represented by the variable x.
On the first day, she travels 24 miles. On the next 3 days, she wants to travel the same amount, so she will travel a distance of x miles on each of those days.
Therefore, the total distance she will travel over the next 3 days is 3x miles.
We know that the total distance of the bike ride is 120 miles. So, we can set up an equation:
24 + 3x = 120
This equation can be rewritten as:
3x + 24 = 120
Therefore, the equation can be represented as:
3x + 24 = 120
