Two resistances, R1 and R2, are connected in series across a 12.0-V battery. The current increases by 0.200 A when R2 is removed, leaving R₁ connected across the battery. However, the current increases by just 0.0670 A when R₁ is removed, leaving R2 connected across the battery. Find (a) R₁ and (b) R2.
