Tyrell has a goal to spend 26 hours each month volunteering in a community library. So far for this month, he has volunteered for 17 hours. Write a working equation that represents the number of hours, h , that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal for this month and solve this equation. (1 point) h + 17 = h =

1 answer

h + 17 = 26.

To solve the equation for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.

Subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation:

(h + 17) - 17 = 26 - 17

h = 9

Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 hours to reach his goal for this month.
