Tyler is cutting strips of wood that are each inches long. He wants to cut enough strips so that he has a total length of 9 inches if the strips are laid end to end. Tyler has already cut 3 strips of wood. Which equation can be used to find w, the number of strips of wood that Tyler will need to cut to have
a total length of 9 inches when the strips are laid end to end.
3/4w + 3 = 9 3/4
3/4w + 2 1/4 = 9 3/4
2 1/4w + 3/4 = 9 3/4
3/4w + 3/4 =9 3/4
