Question

, that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal for this month and solve this equation. (1 point)
h + 17 =


h =

Answer 1

To represent the number of hours \( h \) that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal of 26 hours, we can set up the equation:

\[ h + 17 = 26 \]

Now, to solve for \( h \), we subtract 17 from both sides of the equation:

\[ h = 26 - 17 \]

Calculating the right side gives us:

\[ h = 9 \]

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

In summary:

\[ h + 17 = 26 \]

\[ h = 9 \]
