Answer

a) $I_1=0.426$ $I_2=0.314A$ $I_3=0.111A$ b) $V_{ter}=5.89V$

Work Step by Step

a) $I_1=I_2+I_3$ $24.0V=I_135\Omega+I_229\Omega$ $I_2=0.828A-1.207I_1$ $18.0V=I_135\Omega+I_328\Omega$ $I_3=0.643A-1.25I_1$ $I_1=0.828A-1.207I_1+0.643A-1.25I_1$ $I_1=0.426$ $I_2=0.828A-1.207I_1=0.314A$ $I_3=0.643A-1.25I_1=0.111A$ b) $V_{ter}=\mathcal{E}-I_3r=6.0V-(0.111A)(1.0\Omega)=5.89V$
