Answer 1

Answer:

Find the area land of each town.

Let x be the area of town D

then, x+ 30000 is the area of town C

we know that,

the total area of town C and town D is 120,000 square miles.

x+x+30000=120000

2x= 90000

x=45000

Area of town D= 45000 square miles

Area of town C= 45000+30000= 75000 square miles.
