Homework Statement
I need help solving this problem. I don't understand what to do when there's 2 voltage sources.
The problem asks you to find the power absorbed at each resistor

Homework Equations
The book says that the power absorb at the 6 ohm is 24 Watt, at 4 ohm is 100 Watt, and at the 8 ohm is 72 Watt
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought maybe you could subtract the two voltages since the polarities are different and then use the current divider formula saying the total resistance is parallel resistance of the 6 and 4 ohm and then add the 8 ohm.
