Label the resistors from left to right: $R_1 = 12\U{\Ohm}$, $R_2 =
plug those currents into the junction rule and solve for $I_2$
\begin{align*}
\frac{V_1 + R_3 I_2}{R_{12}} + I_2 - \frac{V_2 - R_3 I_2}{R_{45}} &= 0 \\
- \frac{V_1}{R_{12}} + \frac{R_3}{R_{12}} I_2 + I_2 - \frac{V_2}{R_{45}} + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}I_2 &= 0 \\
- \p({\frac{R_3}{R_{12}} + 1 + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}})\cdot I_2 &= \frac{V_2}{R_{45}} - \frac{V_1}{R_{12}} \\
- I_2 &= \frac{\frac{V_2}{R_{45}} - \frac{V_1}{R_{12}}}{\frac{R_3}{R_{12}} + 1 + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}} \\
+ \frac{V_1}{R_{12}} + \frac{R_3}{R_{12}} I_2 + I_2
+ - \frac{V_2}{R_{45}} + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}I_2 &= 0 \\
+ \p({\frac{R_3}{R_{12}} + 1 + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}})\cdot I_2
+ &= \frac{V_2}{R_{45}} - \frac{V_1}{R_{12}} \\
+ I_2 &= \frac{\frac{V_2}{R_{45}} - \frac{V_1}{R_{12}}}{\frac{R_3}{R_{12}}
+ + 1 + \frac{R_3}{R_{45}}} \\
I_2 &= \ans{-28\U{mA}}
\end{align*}
Where the $-$ sign means the true current is in the opposite direction
I_3 &= \frac{V_2 - R_3 I_2}{R_{45}} = \ans{264\U{mA}}
\end{align*}
-Double-checking our algebra, we see $I_1 + I_2 - I_3 = 292 - 27 - 264 = -1\U{mA} \approx 0$ where difference of $1\U{mA}$ is due to rounding errors from forcing our answers to milli-Volt precision.
