    Answer:

    R + 6 ohms

    Explanation:

    The current is the same in all three resistors

    i = 2 amps

    The problem is that the total voltage is unknown.

    R = r

    R1 =3 ohms

    R2 = 3 ohms

    The voltage drop is E = I*R

    I = 2 amps

    R1 = 3 ohms

    R1 = 3 ohms

    E = 3*2 = 6 volts

    The second 3 ohm resistor also has 6 volts across it.

    The total is 12 volts so far. But we know nothing more on how to solve for R.

    All you can say is that the total resistance = R + 6 ohms
