Tyrell has a goal to spend 26 hours each 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

To represent the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal of 26 hours, you can set up the equation like this:

\[ h + 17 = 26 \]

Here, \(h\) represents the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer.

To solve for \(h\), you can rearrange the equation:

1. Subtract 17 from both sides:

\[ h = 26 - 17 \]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[ h = 9 \]

So, Tyrell still needs to volunteer 9 hours to reach his goal of 26 hours this month.
