Answer 1

To determine the number of hours Moira still needs to read to finish the book, we can set up the equation based on the total hours she needs and the hours she has already read.

Given:

• Total hours needed = 214 hours
• Hours read yesterday = 178 hours

We want to find \( h \), the number of hours still needed to finish the book.

The equation can be set up as:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

So, to complete your equation:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

Now, if you need to isolate \( h \), you can subtract 178 from both sides:

\[ h = 214 - 178 \]

Thus, Moira needs 36 more hours to finish the book:

\[ h = 36 \]
