I'm having trouble figuring out where to start with the attached problem. I don't know how to approach a circuit with a gap, and I don't know where or if it loops. Any general help would be appreciated, like "use the mesh current method" or explaining where the starting point is.

I really wish you would upload it in PDF or upload a screenshot of the question. Word files are infectable.
