To find the value of \( I_3 \) in this circuit, we can use Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to analyze the loops in the circuit. Let's denote the currents in each branch and analyze the two loops separately.

### Given Data
1. \( V_1 = 5 \, \text{V} \)
2. \( V_2 = 7 \, \text{V} \)
3. \( R_1 = 1 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
4. \( R_2 = 2.2 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
5. \( R_3 = 3.3 \, \text{k}\Omega \)

### Steps to Solve
1. **Define Currents:**  
   - Let \( I_1 \) be the current flowing from \( V_1 \) through \( R_1 \) towards the junction.
   - Let \( I_2 \) be the current flowing from the junction through \( R_2 \) towards \( V_2 \).
   - Let \( I_3 \) be the current flowing through \( R_3 \) from the top to the bottom junction.

   According to Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL), at the junction, we have:
   \[
   I_1 = I_2 + I_3
   \]

2. **Apply KVL to the Left Loop (Loop 1):**
   Starting from \( V_1 \), we have:
   \[
   V_1 - I_1 R_1 - I_3 R_3 = 0
   \]
   Substituting the values:
   \[
   5 - 1000 I_1 - 3300 I_3 = 0
   \]
   Simplifying, we get:
   \[
   1000 I_1 + 3300 I_3 = 5
   \]

3. **Apply KVL to the Right Loop (Loop 2):**
   Starting from \( V_2 \), we have:
   \[
   -V_2 + I_2 R_2 + I_3 R_3 = 0
   \]
   Substituting the values:
   \[
   -7 + 2200 I_2 + 3300 I_3 = 0
   \]
   Simplifying, we get:
   \[
   2200 I_2 + 3300 I_3 = 7
   \]

4. **Solve for \( I_1 \), \( I_2 \), and \( I_3 \):**
   Use the equations:
   \[
   1000 I_1 + 3300 I_3 = 5
   \]
   \[
   2200 I_2 + 3300 I_3 = 7
   \]
   and the current relationship \( I_1 = I_2 + I_3 \).

By solving these simultaneous equations, we can determine \( I_3 \).
