SOLUTION: solve by using the best method. 6x-2y=6 and y=3x+2 This is my work. 6x-2y=6 y=3x+2 i plugged in the y=3x+2 and got 6x-6x-4=6 then I combined like terms and got x=10 and y=32.

6x-2y=6 and
y=3x+2
This is my work.
6x-2y=6 y=3x+2 i plugged in the y=3x+2 and got 6x-6x-4=6 then I combined like terms and got x=10 and y=32.

Well, you had the right idea but your execution went awry.
6x-2y+=+6
y+=+3x%2B2 Substitute this into the above equation.
6x-2%283x%2B2%29+=+6 Simplify.
6x-6x-4+=+6 Combine the x-terms.
-4+=+6 Inconsistent. The lines are parallel and therefore have no point of intersection, and no solution.
