**Title**: Calculating the Thevenin Equivalent Voltage

**Circuit Analysis Problem**

For the circuit shown below:

- Current Source (\(I_S\)) = 2 A
- Voltage Source (\(V_S\)) = 10 V
- Resistor 1 (\(R_1\)) = 6 Ω
- Resistor 2 (\(R_2\)) = 7 Ω
- Resistor 3 (\(R_3\)) = 7 Ω

Calculate the value of the Thevenin equivalent voltage (\(V_{TH}\)) in volts to **one decimal place** for terminals b-c.

**Circuit Diagram Explanation**:

1. **Current Source (\(I_S\))**: Positioned on the left, provides a 2 A current into the circuit.

2. **Resistor \(R_1\)**: Connected in series with the current source, with a resistance of 6 Ω.

3. **Resistor \(R_2\)**: Connected between nodes a and b, with a resistance of 7 Ω.

4. **Voltage Source (\(V_S\))**: In parallel with \(R_2\), providing a potential difference of 10 V.

5. **Resistor \(R_3\)**: Connected between terminals b and c, with a resistance of 7 Ω.

**Objective**: Simplify the circuit into its Thevenin equivalent across terminals b-c and calculate \(V_{TH}\).

This will help in analyzing the circuit more efficiently and determining how it interacts with other circuit elements when connected across the terminals b-c.
