Your Megacircuits #1 and #2 are both here.

You didn't say whether you want these boiled down to a single resistor, or to find the current from the battery.

I figured if you didn't need to know the current, then they wouldn't have given the battery voltages, so I did the currents too.

See the attached drawings.

Remember the rules for combining resistors:

In series: Add up the resistors. R(series) = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ... etc.

In parallel: R(parallel) = 1 / (1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + 1/R₄ + ... etc)
