Answer

$I_1=5.875A$, towards the right

Work Step by Step

We know that $B_{Net}=B_1-B_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $2.5\times 10^{-6}=\frac{\mu_{\circ}I_1}{2\pi r}-\frac{\mu_{\circ}I_2}{2\pi r}$ $\implies 2.5\times 10^{-6}=\frac{\mu_{\circ}}{2\pi r}(I_1-I_2)$ $\implies \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{2\pi \times 0.11}(I_1-4.5)=2.5\times 10^{-6}$ This simplifies to: $I_1=5.875A$, towards the right.
