Answer

$V_R=2.4V$

Work Step by Step

$I_R=I_1+I_2$ $2.00V=0.35\Omega I_1+4.0\Omega I_R$ $I_R=0.5A-0.088I_1$ $1.00V=0.35\Omega(I_2-I_1)$ $1.00V=0.35\Omega(I_R-2I_1)$ $1.00V=0.35\Omega(0.5A-2.088I_1)$ $2.86A=0.5A-2.088I_1$ $I_1=-1.13A$ $I_R=0.5A-0.088(-1.13A)$ $I_R=0.60A$ $V_R=I_RR=(0.60A)(4.00\Omega)=2.4V$
