### Problem Statement

**1. Find the electric potential at point A in the diagram.**

### Circuit Diagram Explanation

The diagram depicts a circuit with the following components and connections:

- **Voltage Sources:**
  - \( V_1 = 12 \text{ volts} \)
  - \( V_2 = 6 \text{ volts} \)
- **Resistors:**
  - \( R_1 = 10 \Omega \)
  - \( R_2 = 20 \Omega \)
  - \( R_3 = 30 \Omega \)

Point A is the node where we need to find the electric potential, denoted as \( V_A \).

The diagram consists of:

1. A series-parallel connection of resistors and voltage sources:
   - \( R_1 \) is in series with the parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \).
   - \( V_1 \) is connected in parallel to the series combination of \( R_1 \) and the parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \).
   - \( V_2 \) is connected with \( R_3 \) only.
  
2. The point where the electric potential \( V_A \) is to be found is labeled as “A” and is situated between \( R_1 \) and \( R_3 \).

### Given Data

- \( V_1 = 12 \text{ volts} \)
- \( V_2 = 6 \text{ volts} \)
- \( R_1 = 10 \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 20 \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 30 \Omega \)
- A known potential of \( V_y = +5 \text{ volts} \)

### Objective

Determine the electric potential \( V_A \) at point A in the circuit, given the above parameters and configuration.
