Answer 1

To find out how many more hours Tyrell needs to volunteer to reach his goal, we can set up the following equation:

\[ h + 17 = 26 \]

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

Now, we can solve the equation for \( h \):

1. Subtract 17 from both sides of the equation:

\[ h = 26 - 17 \]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[ h = 9 \]

Thus, Tyrell still needs to volunteer:

\[ h = 9 \]

So the final answer is:

\( h = 9 \)
