Applying clockwise current in two meshes,
Applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law to Mesh 1
−10I1−25+15−15(I1−I2)=025I1−15I2=−10...................(1)
Mesh 2 contains a current source of 5 A. Hence we can write current equation for Mesh 2. Since direction of the current source and the mesh current I2 are opposite,
I2=−5....................(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2),
I1=−3.4 AI10Ω=I1=−3.4 A
