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.
The equation that represents the number of hours that Tyrell still needs to volunteer to reach his goal for this month is:
h = 26 - 17
Simplifying the equation:
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 for this month, we can subtract the hours he has already volunteered from his monthly goal of 26 hours.
Let h be the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer.
The equation can be written as:
h = 26 - 17
Solving this equation:
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 number of hours he has already volunteered from his monthly goal. Let's use the variable h to represent the number of hours Tyrell still needs to volunteer.
The equation is: h = 26 - 17
Simplifying the equation, we get: h = 9
Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 hours to reach his goal for this month.
