Finding the terminal voltage across 16V and 8V batteries?

[fishy]

Homework Statement

Find the terminal voltage across the 16-V battery and 8-V battery.

Homework Equations

V=IR

The Attempt at a Solution

I calculated the total current of the circuit to be 5-A, but after that I'm stuck. What I did (and it was wrong) was simply use the voltage of the battery and subtracted the voltage produced by internal resistance as well as the other resistors.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Can you provide a circuit diagram? It's hard to judge your logic and conclusions without seeing the actual problem.
