Answer:
12 pieces each:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- first string
--- second string
Required
Determine the number of equal pieces
To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces 



The HCF is:


<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>
<em></em>
<em>Recall that </em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>
You can say
x+y=5
x=5-y
You know the value of x, put it into the next equation.
3(5-y)-7y=19
15-3y-7y=19
15-19 = 10y
-4=10y
-4/10=y
-2/5=y
Put y value back into either equation to find value of x.
x+y=5
x-2/5=5
x=5+2/5
x=27/5
Therefore, x,y = (27/5, -2/5)
