Using Mesh Analysis, let V be the voltage across the 40 ohm resistor.
1 0 1 0 − V = I 1
2 0 2 0 − V = I 2
Adding the two equations,
I 1 + I 2 = 2 0 1 ( 4 0 − 3 V )
Since,
V = 4 0 ( I 1 + I 2 )
Thus,
V = 8 0 − 6 V
V = 7 8 0 ≈ 1 1 . 4 4
(10 - v)/ 10 + (20 - v)/ 20 = v/ 40
(40 - 4 v)/ 40 + (40 - 2 v)/ 40 = v/ 40
80 - 6 v = v
7 v = 80
v = 80/ 7 = 11.428571428571428571428571428571+
Checked that 0.428571 = 0.142857 + 0.285714 that the direction of current becomes opposite for R1.
The whole circuit presents an only set of voltages and currents.
Answer: 11.428571428571428571428571428571+
using kirchoff's law in the first loop containing v1 equation is 5i1+4i2=1 applying kirchoff's law in the second loop containing v2 equation is 2i1+3i2=1 solving both equation we have i1=(-1/7) i2=(3/7) current passing through 40 ohm resistor is 2/7 using ohm's law v=ir v=2/7x40=80/7

We can use voltage superimposition to solve this problem.
Therefore, the voltage across R 3 , V 3 = V 3 1 + V 3 2 = 7 8 0 = 1 1 . 4 4 V.
