**Problem 10: Thevenin Equivalent Circuit**

Objective: Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit for the given circuit contained within the box.

**Circuit Description:**

- The circuit contains a 9V voltage source connected in series with a 3Ω resistor.
- A 2A current source is connected in parallel with the 3Ω resistor.
- A 6Ω resistor is also connected in parallel with the 2A current source.
- The load resistor \( R_L \) is connected across the output terminals.

**Instructions:**

1. Identify the portion of the circuit to replace with its Thevenin equivalent.
2. Calculate the Thevenin voltage (\( V_{th} \)) across the output terminals.
3. Determine the Thevenin resistance (\( R_{th} \)) by deactivating all independent sources:
   - Short the voltage source
   - Open the current source
4. Provide the simplified Thevenin equivalent circuit.

This exercise helps deepen the understanding of converting complex circuits into simpler forms, using Thevenin’s theorem, which is highly beneficial for circuit analysis and design.
