Correct Answer: 11

Solution and Explanation

We use Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws to solve for the unknown currents.

Step 1: Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL):

The first equation is given by: 

\[ I_1 + I_3 - I_2 = -2 ag{1} \]

Step 2: Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL):

The second equation is:

\[ I_3 + 2I_2 = 5 ag{2} \]

Step 3: Substituting into KVL:

The third equation is:

\[ 2I_2 - (I_3 - I_2) - (I_1 + I_3 - I_2) = 5 ag{3} \]

Solving the Equations:

From equation (3):

\[ I_1 = -\frac{11}{5} \, \text{A} \]

Therefore:

\[ y = 11 \]

Final Answer:

\(y = 11\)
