**Problem 1.**

Find the source voltage \( V_s \) in the following circuit.

**Circuit Description:**

- The circuit contains one voltage source \( V_s \) and three resistors.
- The circuit loop is closed, forming a single path for current flow.
- Starting from the voltage source \( V_s \) (left side):
  - The voltage source is shown with a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal.
  - It is followed by a 10-ohm resistor.
  - Next, there's a 5-ohm resistor connected in series.
  - Following this, a third resistor with a resistance of 10 ohms is present.
  - Finally, there is a 15 V voltage source in the opposite direction to \( V_s \).
- The components are connected in a straightforward series layout.

**Objective:**

Determine the value of the source voltage \( V_s \).
