Answer:

i = 1.2 [amp]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the current in the circuit, we must perform a sum of voltages equal to zero, around the mesh.

∑V = 0

Let's take the direction of the current as shown in the drawing Clockwise.


-3+(i*2)+(i*1)+(i*2)+9=0\\6+(5*i)=0\\5*i = - 6\\i = - 1.2[amp]

Note: The negative sign means that the current moves in a counterclockwise direction.
