Question
The image presents an electrical circuit diagram labeled as Fig. 3.6. The circuit consists of the following components:

1. A voltage source \( V_s = 8 \, V \).
2. Three resistors arranged in the following configuration:
   - The first resistor \( R \) is connected in series with the voltage source. 
   - A second branch has another resistor \( R \) and a resistor \( 2R \) in series.
3. The circuit has two voltage labels, \( V_x \) across the \( 2R \) resistor and \( V_y \) across the second branch resistor \( R \).
4. The resistance \( R \) is given as \( 1 \, \Omega \).

The diagram poses a question: "What is the value of \( V_x \)?" 

Below the diagram are multiple-choice answers:
- 4V
- 2V
- -2V
- 6V
