How do I solve this circuit with Laplace transforms?

[jean28]

I have this circuit which I need to solve using Laplace transforms. How would the KVL equations look? I am having trouble with them because of the mutual inductance. Thanks

Can you provide an attempt? We won't know how to help unless we can see your attempt.

However, in general the mutual inductance will be modeled as dependent voltage sources in series with each mutually coupled inductor.

Current "flowing into" the dot on one inductor causes a voltage to appear on the coupled inductor which will cause current to "flow out" of its dot. The magnitude of the voltage is given by I*M, where M is the mutual inductance value and I is the current flowing INTO the dot on the other inductor.
