equal width columns possibly with flexbox

So currently I am trying to have my columns have equal height because they are each just a little bit off. Is there a way to do this with flexbox? I'm not very familiar with flexbox however, so if any of you have any advice please let me know! Thank you! 

#recentwork {
  background-color: #1DA0A3;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  text-align: center;
	text-decoration: none;
	

}

#recentwork a{
	text-decoration:none;
}

#recent{
	padding:20px;
	text-decoration: none;

	
}
#recentwork img {
  padding: 20px;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
	
}

.more{
	text-decoration: none;
	color:black;
}

.more:hover{
	color:white;
}

.titles{
	text-decoration:none;
	font-size:20px;
	color:black;
	
}

.parentdiv{
  display:inline-block;
	text-decoration: none;
	
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 760px) {
  #recentwork img {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
	  text-decoration:none;
  }
}

.content{
	width: 400px;
}

This is right what you need.
Aso the previous answer mentioned, you have to put every div, section, whatever you use, inside a div.
Then you give that parent div the property display: flex. And if you want all your child elements to have the same width, you can use flex: 1 or flex-grow: 1

If you want to try out, whatelse you can do with flexbox, try this out. That's a nice playground where you can play with the values and see what happens. I hope this helps :)

First move <h2 id="recent"> Most Recent Work</h2> outside of #recentwork so your flex items are just .parentdiv.

Then add display:flex to #recentwork.

This will give your columns equal height.

Adding flex:1 to .parentdiv will give your columns equal width.
