Trina 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 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 x be the distance Trina will travel on each of the remaining three days.
The total distance Trina will travel on the remaining three days is 3x.
We can write the equation: 24 + 3x = 120.
Subtracting 24 from both sides, we get: 3x = 96.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get: x = 32.
Therefore, Trina will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.
Sentence to explain the answer: Trina will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days, resulting in a total distance of 96 miles, which added to the 24 miles she traveled on the first day will equal her total 120-mile bike ride.
