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.
h + 17 = ____
h = ____
h + 17 = 26
To find the value of h, we can subtract 17 from both sides of the equation:
h + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17
h = 9
Therefore, Tyrell still needs to volunteer for 9 more hours to reach his goal for this month.
