Consider the circuit shown in the figure . Suppose thefourresistors in this circuit have thevalues R1 = 12 Ω, R2 = 6.5 Ω,R3 = 7.1 Ω,and R4 = 10 Ω, and that the emf of thebattery is ε = 15V
Find the current through each resistor using the rulesforseries and parallel resistors. (I1, I2, I3, I4)
Find the current through each resistor using Kirchhoff'srules.(I1, I2, I3, I4)
I am having difficulty with both.. I always get 3.27 forI1which is definitely not right. I have tried following thesolutionfor this problem that is given by the site and it isn'tveryhelpful, it skips steps so I don't know where some of theanswersare coming from. Can anyone please help?

A circuit is constructed with five resistors and a battery as shown. The battery voltage is V =12V. The values for the resistors are R1 =47ohm, R2 = 127ohm, R3 = 125ohm, and R4 = 107ohm.  The value for RX is unknown but known that I4, the current that flows through resistor R4 is zero. Please write all your answer in the SI unit.

what is I1, the magnitude of the current that flows through the resistor R1?

what is V2, the magnitude of the voltage across the resistor R2?
