Response:

do your arrow symbols mean that there is 4 A through the 3 ohm resistor and 2 A through the 5 ohm resistor? Or are the 4 A and 2 A through wires with no resistance? If you can clarify this, it would be easier to answer your question.

Response:

well principal of super position is simple divide problem into parts caculate your anwers in each part. At the end sum up all answers . you are done .
It has two principals to do that, check out that if you used them correctly

1- replace Voltage sources with short circuit, leave current sources as it is, simplfy circuit and get your answer

2- then replace Current sources with open circuits , simplfy circiut, and get your asnwer

3- sum up both answers, you are done.

one thing I was not sure in the diagram that , io stands for what. total current by the source or the current just passing through 4 ohm resister.

I hope it will help you little

Response:

All right... good luck with the problem. Since you rated me "not helpful" I'll take that to mean you don't want my help.
