To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft. 

                                        2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft

Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.
