Answer

$I_1=0.60A$, left $I_2=0.29A$, left

Work Step by Step

$V_3-I_1R_1+V_1=0$ $9.0V=I_1(22\Omega+1.4\Omega)+I_218\Omega$ $9.0V=I_1(23.4\Omega)+I_218\Omega$ $I_2=0.5A-1.3I_1$ $6.0V=I_11.4\Omega-I_218\Omega$ $6.0V=I_11.4\Omega-(0.5A-1.3I_1)18\Omega$ $6.0V=24.8I_1\Omega-9.0V$ $15.0V=24.8I_1\Omega$ $I_1=0.60A$ $I_2=0.5A-(1.3)(0.60A)=-0.29A$
