Applying kvl to the circuit,
((v-15)/68)+(v/30)+((v-8)/100).
On solving above expression we get 5.171v.
Current at R2= 5.17/30=0.172 amps.
172 milli amps.

By appling mesh analysis
15=68i'+ 30(i'-i")
15=98i'-30i"
Now at second battery
-8=100i"+30*(i'-i")
-8=-30i'+130i"
After calculation
i'=.145
i"= -.028
So total current in 30 ohm resistance
i' - i"
0.145 - (-0.028)
= 0.173 A or
= 173 mA.

Applying kcl at node A and taking node B as refrence:
(15-va)/68-va/30-(va-8)/100=0
va=5.1689v;
Ir2=va/30=5.1689/30=0.172A=172mA;
(15-va)/68-va/30-(va-8)/100=0
va=5.1689v;
Ir2=va/30=5.1689/30=0.172A=172mA;

Isn't there any simple way to solve that porblem.

Apply nodal analysis find voltage Va then by applying ohms law.

Simply apply node base analysis and solve it by KCL Law.
