**Problem Statement:**

Set up but do not evaluate an integral to determine the volume of a solid whose base is the region between \( y = 1 - x \) and \( y = x - 1 \) on \([0, 1]\) and whose cross-sections are rectangles perpendicular to the \( x \)-axis whose heights are 3 times their widths.

**Explanation:**

To find the volume of the solid, we consider the cross-sectional area at a given \(x\). The width of a cross-section is determined by the distance between the two curves: 

\( \text{Width} = (1 - x) - (x - 1) = 2 - 2x \).

Since the height of each rectangle is 3 times its width, the height is:

\( \text{Height} = 3 \times \text{Width} = 3(2 - 2x) \).

The area of each rectangular cross-section, \(A(x)\), is then given by:

\[ A(x) = \text{Width} \times \text{Height} = (2 - 2x) \times 3(2 - 2x) = 3(2-2x)^2. \]

To find the volume of the solid, integrate the area of the cross-section from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 1\):

\[ V = \int_{0}^{1} 3(2-2x)^2 \, dx. \]
