Question

Bobby hopes that he will someday be more than 70 inches tall he is currently 61 inches tall how many more inches, x,does Bobby need to grow to reach his desired height

Answer 1

As given, the current height of Bobby is = 61 inches

Bobby hopes to be taller than 70 inches.

Let the number of inches Bobby needs to grow to reach 70 be = x

So, he needs to grow

`x+61=70`

Hence, x=9 inches

So, Bobby needs to grow 9 inches to reach a height of 70 inches and more than 9 if he wants to be taller than 70 inches.
