    Magnitude of the current in a battery

    What I had done was Loop 1 being the circuit containing the 14 V battery and the 29V battery. Setting up the equation 12I2 - 23I1 = -43 for the top loop and 12I1 - 27I2 = -66 for the bottom loop. Then I put together a system of equations. I multiplied the top loop equation by 9 and the bottom by...
