Answer 1

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

The equation can be expressed as:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

Here, \( h \) represents the hours that Moira still needs to read.

To solve for \( h \), you would subtract the hours she has already read (178) from the total hours needed (214):

\[ h = 214 - 178 \]

So the completed equation would be:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Let's clarify the equation again:

Moira needs a total of 214 hours to finish reading a book. She has already read for 178 hours. So, the equation to find out how many more hours \( h \) she needs to read would be:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

This equation states that the total number of hours needed to finish the book (214) is equal to the hours she has already read (178) plus the hours she still needs to read (\( h \)).

If you want to solve for \( h \):

\[ h = 214 - 178 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ h = 36 \]

So, she needs 36 more hours to finish the book. Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clears up the misunderstanding!
