Homework Statement
Calculate the currents in each resistor in this figure:

Homework Equations
Kirchhoff's rules
In a closed loop: the sum of voltage is 0
A a junction: the sum of current is 0
The Attempt at a Solution
Would all these resistors be considered in series? Therefore the current would be the same across each resistor?
I have the closed loop equations:
58V-I1(120)-I2(82)-I3(64)=0
3V-I4(25)-I3(64)-I5(110)=0
However, I do not know how to formulate the junction equations over multiple resistors and I know I need more equations for the amount of unknowns that I have. Suggestions?
