God bless you too !!!!!!!!!!!
Let the length of the first piece be x inches. Then:-
x + 2x + 4x + 3 = 38
7x = 38 - 3
x = 35/7 = 5 inches
Answer: the 3 pieces have lengths 5, 10 and 23 inches.
Idon't Know the answer srry
First off, you didn’t really ask a question you just told us what the thickness of the wood pieces are. But if you are trying to get a equal denominator you first write out the two fractions side by side and find a common denominator.
3/4 and 2/3
The lowest common denominator between 4 and 3 is 12 so in the first equation you multiply both the top and bottom by 3.
3/4 —> 3 times 3 is 9 and 4 times 3 is 12.
To make it 9/12
The second equation you do the same to make both the denominators equal but this time you multiply them by 4.
2/3 —> 2 times 4 is 8 and 3 times 4 is 12.
Making it 8/12
So side by side the two piece of wood started out as
3/4 and 2/3
But the first piece is bigger as it turned into
9/12 and 8/12
Y=4x+1 is the answer to your question
