### Source Transformation and Circuit Analysis

#### Problem Statement
"Use a series of source transformations to find \( i_o \) in the circuit in Figure."

#### Circuit Description
The circuit consists of:

- Two current sources
  - One current source providing 2A located on the left side of the circuit.
  - Another current source providing 1A connected in parallel with a 5Ω resistor.

- One voltage source providing 34V, connected in series with a 1.5Ω resistor.

- Multiple resistors with the following resistance values:
  - 6Ω resistor connected in series with the 2A current source.
  - Another 6Ω resistor connected to a node between the first 6Ω resistor and the 5Ω resistor that is in parallel with the 1A current source.
  - 17Ω resistor connected in series with the 34V voltage source and 1.5Ω resistor.

The primary objective is to determine the current \( i_o \) flowing through the 1.5Ω resistor connected in series with the 34V voltage source.

#### Diagram Explanation
- The circuit can be visually divided into two loops:
  - **Left Loop**: Contains a 2A current source in series with a 6Ω resistor.
  - **Right Loop**: Contains a 1A current source in parallel with a 5Ω resistor, which is then connected to another 17Ω resistor and a 34V voltage source in series with a 1.5Ω resistor.
  
By performing appropriate source transformations, the equivalent circuit can be derived step-by-step to facilitate easier calculation of \( i_o \).

Understanding this circuit and solving for \( i_o \) helps students grasp fundamental concepts in network analysis such as source transformation and mesh analysis.
