Hello, :smile:

I was doing a superposition problem and got stuck on this point: http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/1866/superti.jpg

Please help me out. Thanks

Cheers

You're right, you have a current divider situation:
Circuit schematic with a 2Ω resistor on the top branch, a 4A current source in the middle, and 6Ω and 8Ω resistors in series on the bottom branch, with currents i1 and i2 labelled.
