Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out! I jumped the gun in making this post.
I'm doing another problem from Schaum's Outline: Basic Circuit Analysis. The problem, #3.24, and its solution are found in this link (http://books.google.com/books?id=EPb1COh2AQUC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=schaum%27s+outline+circuit+analysis+3.24&source=bl&ots=e93GCWkx84&sig=zG9WUAW17YAyoi_Y445ZIhSJzK0&hl=en&ei=O2wRTdKrG8P58Aam_dH3DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false).
I understand the algebra leading to the solution, but I can't wrap my head around why current changes direction after adding a dependent voltage source with the same polarity as the independent voltage source.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
