**Circuit Analysis Problem**

For the circuit below, use loop analysis to find the voltages \( V_A \), \( V_B \), and \( V_C \). Provide your calculations and reasoning for your answer.

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit consists of three voltage sources and several resistors. Here is a breakdown of the components and their connections in the circuit:

1. **Voltage Sources:**
   - \( V2 = 25 \text{Vdc} \) located on the left side of the circuit.
   - \( V3 = 15 \text{Vdc} \) located on the right side of the circuit.

2. **Resistors and Their Values:**
   - \( R8 = 1k \Omega \) connected to \( V2 \).
   - \( R9 = 220 \Omega \) connected between \( V_B \) and \( V_C \).
   - \( R10 = 330 \Omega \) located at the top path connecting to \( V_A \).
   - \( R11 = 4k \Omega \) located at the top right path.
   - \( R12 = 700 \Omega \) connected between \( V_C \) and \( V3 \).
   - \( R13 = 470 \Omega \) connected between \( V_A \) and \( V_C \).
   - \( R14 = 550 \Omega \) located below \( V_C \).
   - \( R15 = 2k \Omega \) connecting \( V_B \) downward.

3. **Node Voltages:**
   - \( V_A \): Voltage at the top right node.
   - \( V_B \): Voltage at the middle left node.
   - \( V_C \): Voltage at the bottom middle node.

4. **Ground Connection:**
   - There is a ground symbol below the circuit, indicating the reference point for voltage.

**Instruction:**
- Use loop analysis (also known as mesh analysis) to find \( V_A \), \( V_B \), and \( V_C \).
- Apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) to write equations for each loop.
- Solve the system of equations to find the unknown voltages.

**Note:**
Through loop analysis, pay attention to the direction of current flow and the polarities of the voltages for each component in the loops defined.
