Answer: 11 ft.

Explanation:

Start by listing the variables that you have.

-Total Area=1,848; lot a 33ft wide, 42ft long; lot b xft wide, 42ft long.

- so, our equation looks like 1,848=(33x42)+(42x)

-multiply 33x42=1,386

-subtract 1,386 from both sides to get 462.

-equation should look like 462=42x

-divide by 42 to 11

Answer:

(C) 11 feet

Explanation:

You want the width of lot B if adjacent lot A has a width of 33 ft, both are 42 ft long, and the total area of both lots is 1848 ft².

Width

The total width of both lots can be found from the area:

A = LW

1848 ft² = (42 ft)W

W = (1848 ft²)/(42 ft) = 44 ft

Lot B

Of that total width, 33 ft is Lot A. The remaining width is Lot B.

Lot B = (44 ft) -(33 ft) = 11 ft

The width of Lot B is 11 feet, matching choice C.
