Ryan, Jessica, and Mark each solved this system of equations. All of their answers are different. Find and explain the mistakes. What is the correct answer? y = 3x + 2 6x – 2y = 10

6x - 2y = 10

-2y = -6x + 10...reduce by dividing by -2

y = 3x - 5....slope = 3 and y int = -5

y = 3x + 2 ...slope = 3, y int = 2

These lines are parallel. Parallel lines will have the same slope, but different y int's. There is no solution to this because ur lines never intersect.

Mark's answer is correct

It's not possible to do any of that without seeing any of their work.

By the way, that system of equations has no solution.
