A waste water system is being installed in a small town.The large pipes required to reach from the town to the water treatment plant come in 20-foot and 24-foot lengths. The city planner finds that twelve fewer of the 24-foot pipes will be required than if the 20-foot pipes were used. What is the distance from the town to the water treatment plant?
