I don’t understand this question. Professor told me to show my work if possible. Thank you in advance.
**Problem 12.18**

This diagram represents an electrical circuit with a 12-volt battery connected to three resistors arranged around the circuit.

- **Voltage Source**: A 12 V battery is shown on the left side of the circuit.
- **Resistors**: 
  - \( R_1 \) is 9 Ω, located at the top of the circuit.
  - \( R_2 \) is 9 Ω, located at the right side of the circuit.
  - \( R_3 \) is 6 Ω, located at the bottom of the circuit.

These elements form a closed loop, and the resistors are depicted symbolically, with light bulbs illustrating the resistors in the circuit. The bulbs each emit light, indicating that current is flowing through them. The purpose of the problem is likely related to analyzing the circuit, such as determining the total resistance, current flow, or voltage drop across each resistor.
