A soccer ball is stitched using black and white pieces of leather. The black pieces are regular pentagons, and the white pieces are regular hexagons, with the side lengths of both shapes being equal. Each black pentagon is stitched to five white hexagons, and each white hexagon has three sides stitched to black pentagons and the other three sides stitched to other white hexagons. If there are 12 black pentagons on the surface of a soccer ball, how many white hexagons are there?
