Finding the current and voltage across various resistors

Homework Statement

Find the current through all resistors.

Find the potential difference across all resistors

Ohm's Law
Kirchhoff's Rules

So I rearranged the circuit a little and got the total resistance to be three ohms and from there solved for current and go 8 amps...I'm lost from here
