The amusement park won’t allow kids to ride roller coasters until they are a minimum of 48 inches tall. Michael is now 42 inches tall, and grows about 1/2 inches every month. How many months will it be until Michael can ride a roller coaster? (Solve with inequalities and solve for x)

42+1/2x=48

1/2x=6

x=6*2

x=12

12 months or a year until he could ride a roller coaster.
