Homework Statement
FIind the current through and the potential difference across the 100 ohm resistor.
Relevant Equations
junction rule. loop rule
I was following this problem up until they say we can they state I3= I1-I2. I understand why we can say that but I don't see how I can use that to get the system of equation in terms of I1 and I2 at the bottom. Could someone show me how this was done?
Circuit schematic with a junction at the top where I1 and I2 enter and I3 leaves, two loops with a 300 Ω and 100 Ω resistor and 19 V and 12 V batteries, and a 200 Ω resistor on the right.
 
You have the two equations

Two Kirchhoff loop equations: 19 V - (300 Ω) I1 - (100 Ω) I3 - 12 V = 0 and 12 V + (100 Ω) I3 - (200 Ω) I2 = 0.

Take the first of these two equations and substitute ##I_3 = I_1-I_2##. This means to replace ##I_3## in the equation by the quantity ##(I_1-I_2)##. Then simplify.

Do the same for the second equation.

Show your work so we can help with any particular step for which you have trouble.
