Answer:
<h2>The length of the pieces is 3 inch, 6 inch and 13 inch.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the length of the first piece is x inch.
Hence, the length of the second piece is 2x.
It is given that, the length of the third piece is one inch more than four times of the first piece. Hence, the length of the third piece is 4x + 1 inch.
The total length of the steel is 22 inch.
Hence, x + 2x + 4x + 1 = 22
or, 7x = 21
or, x = 3.
The length of the second piece is
6 inch.
The length of the third piece is
13 inch.
14 over 4509 would be an equvilent fraction
I'll abbreviate
and
, so the identity to prove is

On the left side, we can simplify a bit:


Then

So the establish the original equality, we need to show that

Combine the fractions:

We can rewrite the denominator as

then using the fact that
, we get

so that we have

as desired.
