### Circuit Analysis Problem

**Problem Statement:**
In the circuit of the figure below, the current \( I_1 \) is 1.8 A and the values of \( \mathcal{E} \) and \( R \) are unknown. What are the currents \( I_2 \) and \( I_3 \)? (Enter the magnitude only.)

**Inputs:**
- \( I_2 = \) _____ A
- \( I_3 = \) _____ A

**Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit diagram includes the following components:
- A voltage source \( \epsilon \) with a polarity marked as negative on the left and positive on the right.
- A fixed 24 V voltage source, also marked with negative and positive polarity.
- Three branches with resistors:
  - A resistor with resistance \( R \) in the left branch.
  - A resistor with resistance 3.0 \(\Omega\) in the middle branch.
  - A resistor with resistance 6.0 \(\Omega\) in the right branch.

**Current Flow:**
- Current \( I_1 \) flows downward through the 6.0 \(\Omega\) resistor.
- Current \( I_2 \) flows downward through the 3.0 \(\Omega\) resistor.
- Current \( I_3 \) flows leftward through the resistor \( R \).

The circuit forms a loop with nodes \( a \) and \( b \), where node \( a \) is connected to both voltage sources.

**Objective:**
Determine the magnitudes of currents \( I_2 \) and \( I_3 \) in the circuit.
