The answer to the solution is:
X= 7
The least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4 .
Here's a useful hint to keep in mind:
If the smaller number is a factor of the larger number,
then the larger number is the LCM of both of them.
let length of one piece = x
length of other piece = 236-x
one piece is three times the length of the other
x=3(236-x)
x=708-3x
4x=708
x=177
so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long
