Answer 1

x ≥ 16

He'll like to grow atleast 16 inches more

Explanation:

Given :

Present height, p = 56 inches

Final height, f is atleast 72 inches ; f ≥ 72

Let additional height required = x

Writing the problem as an inequality ;

Present + additional height ≥ final height

56 + x ≥ 72

x ≥ 72 - 56

x ≥ 16

He'll like to grow atleast 16 inches more
