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 the equation for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.
Subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation:
(h + 17) - 17 = 26 - 17
h = 9
Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 hours to reach his goal for this month.
The working equation that represents the number of hours, h, that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal for this month is:
h + 17 = 26
To solve this equation for h, we need to isolate h on one side of the equation.
Subtract 17 from both sides:
h + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17
Simplifying:
h = 9
Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 hours to reach his goal for this month.
To represent the number of hours that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal, we can subtract the hours he has already volunteered from his monthly goal:
h + 17 = 26
To solve this equation, we can isolate the variable 'h' by subtracting 17 from both sides:
h + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17
This simplifies to:
h = 9
Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 more hours to reach his goal for this month.
