Answer: three pieces.
The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.
1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
4x = 3y - 8
4 4
x = ³/₄y - 2
-16x + 4y = 32
-16(³/₄y - 2) + 4y = 32
-16(³/₄y) + 16(2) + 4y = 32
-12y + 32 + 4y = 32
-12y + 4y + 32 = 32
-8y + 32 = 32
- 32 - 32
-8y = 0
-8 -8
y = 0
x = ³/₄y - 2
x = ³/₄(0) - 2
x = 0 - 2
x = -2
(x, y) = (-2, 0)
