T4_Problem_1: Resistors in Series
 Use source and resistor combinations to find i:
 Draw the simplified circuit too.
Note: This is Practice problem 3.12 on page 57, Figure 3.28 in the Ref 1 book (by Hayt)

T4_Problem_2: Resistors in Parallel
 Find vx:
Note: This is Practice problem 3.14 on page 60, Figure 3.32 in the Ref 1 book (by Hayt)
2.819 V
Requ = 6 || 9 || R3equ
Requ = 6 || 9 || 13 = 6*9/(6+9) || 13
Combine the resistors:
R3equ = 3 * 3/(3+3) +10+ 3 * 3/(3+3)
1 A Requ = 2.819 Ω

T4_Problem_3: Current Division
 Find i1 , i2 and v3 :
Note: This is Practice problem 3.15 on page 63, Figure 3.36 in the Ref 1 book (by Hayt)
RS2equ = 40 + 20 = 60 Ω
Combine resistors connected to 50 Ω :
RPequ = 240 || 60 = 48 Ω
RS1equ = 2 + 48 = 50 Ω
Requ = 50 || 50 = 25 Ω

i2 = [50 /(50 + 50)] 100*10-3
i2 = 50 mA
i40 = [240 /(240 + 60)] 50*10-3
i40 = 40 mA
v3 = i40* 20 = 40*10-3 * 20 = 0.8 V
