Tyrell has a goal to spend 26 hrs each month volunteering in a community library. So far for this month, he has volunteered for 17 hrs. Write a working equation that represents the number of hrs, h, that Tyrell still needs to reach volunteer to each his goal for this month and solve this equation.

h + 17 = _

h = _

1 answer

To write a working equation that represents the number of hours \( h \) that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal of 26 hours, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ h + 17 = 26 \]

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

  1. Subtract 17 from both sides of the equation:

\[ h = 26 - 17 \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ h = 9 \]

So, the complete answers are:

  1. The equation: \( h + 17 = 26 \)
  2. The solution: \( h = 9 \)

Tyrell still needs to volunteer 9 hours to reach his goal of 26 hours for the month.
