I need to use 'supermesh' analysis to eventually find Ix, but my results to match my auxiliary equation: I1 - I3 = 4. 

## Exercise 3.3.8

(a) Use the supermesh concept to solve for \( I_x \) in the circuit below.

### Circuit Diagram Description:
- The circuit includes three current sources (2A, 4A, 3A) and three resistors with resistances of 6Ω, 12Ω, and 6Ω.
- The 2A current source is on the left side of the circuit.
- The 4A current source is in the middle, intersecting with the 12Ω and 6Ω resistors.
- The 3A current source is on the right side.
- \( I_x \) is shown flowing to the left, across the 12Ω resistor at the top.
- All current sources are directed upwards.
