A kirchoff's law question with multiple batteries

[Chester8990]

Homework Statement

To find the voltage at the 5 ohms resistor.

Homework Equations

V=IR
Kirchoff's first and second law

The Attempt at a Solution

The attempt was simply too long
I ended up with a voltage of 6.5V on the 5 ohm resistor...
Please help me, I have been stuck in this same question for two weeks.
What I wasn't confident with was the three batteries too...

Could I suggest that you do yourself a favour and resolve to never refer to a voltage "at" any element? By always referring to "a voltage across[/color]" an element, or to a "voltage between two points[/color]" you will be giving yourself a subtle reminder of how you must go about determining the parameter.

So, what approach will you use for determining the voltage across the resistor in question?

You'll have to show an attempt before we can know how to help. Them's the rules.

As a suggestion, write a KCL node equation for the node where all the resistors come together. Choose the bottom node as the ground reference.
