Answer:

3 1/4 + 2x ≥ 6

Explanation:

Let X equal the remaining time she needs to practice.

You would have 2x

The combined total needs to be 6 hours or greater.

You need to add the amount she already practiced to 2x.

Now you have: three and one fourth + 2x

This needs to be greater than or equal to 6.

I hope this helps you :)
