HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer 1

2 hours

Explanation:

The equation:

So first add 9 to 26

26 + 9 = 35

35 is the highest we can go when multiplying 17.

Now divide 35 by 17.

The answer is 2.058….

Remove the numbers after the decimal and you have 2.

Therefore, two hours is the answer.

17 x 2 = 34

34 - 9 = 25

Two hours is correct
