Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I have the correct equations, I am sure of it. However on of them is:
2*2+2*10-ε-RI1=0
How do I know if RI1 (I1 is the current on the "branch" with the unknown R) is 5 or -5? The correct answer is -5, because the answer is 29. How do I know this? Why can't it be 5?
