Homework Statement

In this circuit E1 = 5.98 volts and E2 = 4.45 volts. To the nearest hundredth of an amp what is I1?

Homework Equations

V=IR

1/Req=1/R₁+ 1/R₂+ 1/R₃

The Attempt at a Solution

Well I think I know that resistance for the whole system is 20/3... But I really don't know how to set it all up because I have never used more than one battery in a problem before and it really doesn't look like this would make a correct circuit.

Are you familiar with Kirchhoff's Laws? The resistors are not connected in parallel, as only one terminal of them is common with that of an other resistor, the other is connected to a battery. ehild
