He is going to build with concrete blocks that are 8 inches high (including the mortar).
a. Write an inequality to calculate how many rows

let number of the rows be
if blocks that are inches high, than we have
he poured an above-ground foundation that was thick
add that to
and the flat roof will add inches to the height of the wall
=>
since height is limited to a maximum of above the surface of the ground,

b.
Solve the inequality
-> convert ft to in

c.
Draw a number line and plot the solution set.
