Question

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.

Answer 1

The equation to represent the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer is:
h = 26 - 17.

Simplifying the equation, we get:
h = 9.

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