The next 2 answers are: -2/5 and -3/5
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ x -
= 
Multiply through by 14 to clear the fractions
2x + 14x - 2 = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
16x = 4 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x =
= 
Given:X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains
144 marbles.
SOLVING:X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X =

X = 36
===> The blue marbles.If there are
3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108
===> The red marbles. SOLUTION

Answer:
1) The solve by graphing will the preferred choice when the equation is complex to be easily solved by the other means
Example;
y = x⁵ + 4·x⁴ + 3·x³ + 2·x² + x + 3
2) Solving by substitution is suitable where we have two or more variables in two or more (equal number) of equations
2x + 6y = 16
x + y = 6
We can substitute the value of x = 6 - y, into the first equation and solve from there
3) Solving an equation be Elimination, is suitable when there are two or more equations with coefficients of the form, 2·x + 6·y = 23 and x + y = 16
Multiplying the second equation by 2 and subtracting it from the first equation as follows
2·x + 6·y - 2×(x + y) = 23 - 2 × 16
2·x - 2·x + 6·y - 2·y = 23 - 32
0 + 4·y = -9
4) An example of a linear system that can be solved by all three methods is given as follows;
2·x + 6·y = 23
x + y = 16
