\n" ); document.write( "Abner got a building permit for a shed that limits its height to a maximum of 9.5 ft above the surface of the ground. He poured an above-ground foundation that was 4 inches thick, and the flat roof will add 6 inches to the height of the wall. He is going to build with concrete blocks that are 8 inches high (including the mortar). \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. Write an inequality to calculate how many rows\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let number of the rows be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "if blocks that are \"8in\" inches high, than we have \"%288in%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "he poured an above-ground foundation that was \"4in\" thick
\n" ); document.write( "add that to \"%288in%29x%2B4in\"
\n" ); document.write( "and the flat roof will add \"6+\"inches to the height of the wall
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288in%29x%2B4in%2B6in\"=>\"%288in%29x%2B10in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since height is limited to a maximum of \"9.5ft\" above the surface of the ground,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%288in%29x%2B10in%3C9.5ft\"\r
