I think you should use thevnin theorem. That means find Vn by opening AB and find Rn by shorting AB. Finally divide Vn / Rn = In.

It's simple. Just short AB & apply kvl.

From nodal equation.

(v-75)/68+v/68+v/120 = 0.
By solving this we get v = 29.22.

Now by ohm's law to 120 ohm resistor.
IN = v/r = 29.22/120 = 0.244A.

or 1A = 1000mA.
SO, 0.244*1000 = 244mA.

Apply nodal equation to the circuit.

[v-75]/68+v/68+v/120 = 0.

We get v = 29.22.

In = v/r.

In = 29.22/120.

In = 0.2435A.

It can be solved by Thevenin's theorem. But have to ignore value of RL in equation. IL = vth/Rth+RL.

RL represent the Load, using nortons theorem, you remove the load and find the current through R3.

IN means Norton current.

Apply KCL to both loop, then solve those two equations, then the current i2 will be the answer, i.e=0.436A.
