Let us assume the current distribution in the given circuit as given in the figure.
 
Let us apply Kirchoff's voltage law to the top loop that is marked as (I) 
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 - begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 + 2 = 3  or  begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 - begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 = 1 .............................(1)

Let us apply Kirchoff's voltage law to the top loop that is marked as (II) 
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 - 3 begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 + 5 = 2  or  begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 - 3 begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 = -3  .............................(2)
 
At node A , if we apply Kirchoff's current law ,
 
we get , begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 + begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 + begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 = 0  or   begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 = - begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 - begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3  ..........................(3)
 
Let us eliminate begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 in eqn.(1) using eqn.(3) and rewrite eqn.(1) as
-5 begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 - 4 begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 = 1 .....................(4)
 
BY solving eqn.(4) and eqn.(2) , we get begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 = -15/19 A  and begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 = 14/19 A
By substituting begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style2 and begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style3 in eqn.(3) , we get begin mathsize 14px style straight I end style1 = 1/19 A
