Wesley is making a patio from stones of two sizes, 5 inches wide and 10 inches wide. He wants to begin and end his pattern with a 10-inch stone so there will be one more of the 10-inch stones than of the 5-inch stones. His patio will be 145 inches wide. How many 10-inch stones will Wesley need for one row?

10+5=15
145-10=135
135/15=9
so there will be 9 stones of 5 inches length and 9+1=10 stones of 10 inches length.
