Question
The following equations describe an electric circuit.
−I1(247 Ω) + 5.80 V − I2(381 Ω)  =  0
I2(381 Ω) + I3(150 Ω) − 3.10 V  =  0
I1 + I3 − I2  =  0

Calculate the unknowns (in mA). With respect to the 5.8 V battery, consider current moving toward the positive pole as positive and current moving toward the negative pole as negative.

THE FOLLOWING GIVEN ANSWERS WERE INCORRECT:

I1-10.008 mA

I2-0.868 mA

I30.139 mA
