**Use the mesh-current method to find \(i_1\), \(i_2\), and \(i_3\) in the following circuit.**

The diagram illustrates an electrical circuit with three loops for applying the mesh-current method. 

1. **Loop 1** consists of a 12 V voltage source and a 4 Ω resistor. Current \(i_1\) flows through this loop.

2. **Loop 2** shares the 4 Ω resistor with Loop 1 and includes a 6 Ω resistor. Current \(i_2\) flows through the 6 Ω resistor.

3. **Loop 3** includes a 10 V voltage source and a 2 Ω resistor. Current \(i_3\) flows through the 2 Ω resistor.

Arrows indicate the direction of the mesh currents \(i_1\), \(i_2\), and \(i_3\). Use these elements and the provided graphical representation of the circuit to apply the mesh-current method for calculating \(i_1\), \(i_2\), and \(i_3\).
