Generate an image of a young Black man, Tyrell, engaging in various volunteering tasks in a modern community library filled with rows of books, desks, computers, and a handful of people of various descents and genders. He is seen arranging books on shelves, assisting library visitors, and working on a computer. Display a clock on the wall showing passage of time but with no specific hours or minutes. Include visual aids such as an abacus and a sand hourglass to subtly represent the concept of counting time.

Tyrell has a goal to spend 26 hours each month volunteering in a community library. So far for this 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. (1 point)

h + 17 =

h =

h + 17 = 26

To solve for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.

We can do that by subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation:

h + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17

This simplifies to:

h = 9

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

To write the equation that represents the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer, we can subtract the hours he has already volunteered from his goal of 26 hours in a month.

The equation will be:
h + 17 = 26

To solve this equation and find the value of h (the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer), we can isolate h by subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation:

h + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17

Simplifying, we get:

h = 9

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

26 - 17 = 9
