Hi Vickie,
You should be able to use a self leveling compound on the wood. I have never had to do this but found this article

Hi Vickie. Couple of things first; Is this a mobile/manufactured home? Secondly, on the far left of the pic, it appears to be patched from a previous something.
Now, having said that, I highly recommend you pull up your subfloor and investigate the 3/4 “ difference before you have a leveling concrete session.
Lastly, this stuff dries in about 30 seconds! Literally can not work it any more. If you have a large room/rooms, I would try Luan first. It’s an addition 1/16” subfloor that is much more forgiving.
Hope, My phone didnt send my first post.
I so enjoyed your post about your "brick" floor. It was beautiful and a true labor of love for your girls!
This house is an old farmhouse that I redid till I ran out of funds. The floor is what im facing now.
Thank you so much for your input!
