I've been working on the following phasor circuit problem, but the results seem incorrect to me, because I get one of the currents, I2, to be to be 0A when it appears that it shouldn't be. I am solving using the mesh current method.
My equations, where x=I1, y=I2, and z=I3:
This outputs I3=-3i, I2=0. I can't see how this is correct.

Can anyone help me find my error? I don't have the solutions but I think its wrong. Thanks.
