Answer explanation
Choice A is correct. It's given that Julissa already has hours of flight time. Let represent the number of additional hours of flight time Julissa needs to get her private pilot certifiion. After completing hours of flight time, Julissa will have completed a total of hours of flight time. It's given that Julissa needs at least hours of flight time to get her private pilot certifiion. Therefore, . Subtracting from both sides of this inequality yields . Thus, is the minimum number of additional hours of flight time Julissa needs to get her private pilot certifiion.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect. This is the number of hours of flight time Julissa already has, rather than the minimum number of additional hours of flight time Julissa needs.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the number of hours of flight time Julissa will have if she completes more hours of flight time, rather than the minimum number of additional hours of flight time Julissa needs.
