Table 1: Finding the Computed Value
I1 I 1=−I 2+ I 3 →−( 0.56 ) + (−0.48 ) I 1=0.08 A
I ( 5 Ω )−6 V (−0.48) ( 5 Ω )−6 V
I2 I 2= 3 = =I 2=−0.56 A
15 Ω 15 Ω
−60 V
I3 I 3= =−0.48 A
125 Ω

Left loop: 6V – I1(5Ω) + I2(10 Ω) = 0

Right loop: -8V – I2(10Ω) + I3(5 Ω) = 0

Multiply by 15 & 10
[6V + I2(15Ω ) – I3(5Ω ) = 0] [10]
[-8V – I2(10Ω ) + I3(5Ω ) = 0] [15]
--------------------------------------------
60V + I2 (150Ω ) – I3 (50Ω ) = 0 → 60V – I3(50Ω ) = 0
-120V - I2 (150Ω ) – I3 (75Ω ) = 0 120V – I3(75Ω ) = 0
-------------------------------------------- --------------------------
-60V – I3(125Ω ) = 0
