Answer: 11 months

Explanation:

Let the number of months that it will take him to reach his goal be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, this can be formed into an equation as:

8 + 4x = 52

4x = 52 - 8

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

It will take 11 months to reach the goal
