Homework Statement
Hello there, hope you are well.
I am having trouble solving this problem involving Kirchoff's laws.
I have attached a copy of the circuit and problem to this post in jpeg format.
Thanks again in advance for any help.

Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I merged to the two 20 ohms into one 10ohm and said that the total voltage in any loop equals zero.
so 60=20Ia + 10Ib
and 20=20Ib + 10Ia
I have tried solving this many times and keep getting a negative current for Ib. My original equation must be wrong.
Thanks a lot for any help or input,
Mike
