Look what we now have ! 3 equations and 3 unknowns (this is a
good thing).
Inserting the device equations into the B-E KVL:
5.7 - 10 IB - 0.7 - 2 (99 + 1) IB = 0
Therefore:
5.0 210 IB =0

Solving, we get:
IB =
4/6
5.0
= 23.8 A
210
I.E.,
IC = IB = 2.356 mA
IE = ( + 1) IB = 2.380 mA
(Note that IC + IB = IE)
Now for the voltages !
Since we know the currents, we can find the voltages using KVL.
For example, lets determine VCE. We can do this either by
finding the voltage at the collector VC (wrt ground) and
voltage at the emitter VE (wrt ground) and then subtracting
(VCE = VC VE).
OR, we can determine VCE directly from the C-E KVL equation.

Note we could have likewise written the C-E KVL:
