Answer:

  • one-story: 10 doors
  • two-story: 13 doors

Explanation:

Let o and t represent the numbers of doors in a one-story and a two-story house, respectively.

2o +t = 33 . . . . . . . . west-side doors

8o +t = 93 . . . . . . . . east-side doors

__

6o = 60 . . . . . subtract the first equation from the second

o = 10

2(10) +t = 33 . . . . substitute for o in the first equation

t = 13 . . . . . . . . subtract 20

__

Each one-story house has 10 doors, and each two-story house has 13 doors.
