Expert Solution
Step 1

Let the current I is flowing to the circuit 

and hence all the resistances are connected in series so the current through all the resistors will be the same so writing the KVL in the loop we get 

4.5+3.0=3.5+150×I+2I=2.0150=0.0133A=133mA

So the current flowing through the circuit will be 133mA.
