 Once you have the loop equations written out, you can always substitute $\Delta V = IR$ to make better use of your knowns/unknowns. For example, we could rewrite Loop ABEDA as: Once you have the loop equations written out, you can always substitute $\Delta V = IR$ to make better use of your knowns/unknowns. For example, we could rewrite Loop ABEDA as:
-$$\text{Loop ABEDA:  } -I_3R_\beta - I_2R_\delta + \Delta V_1 = 0$$+$$\text{Loop ABEDA:  } -I_3R_\beta - I_1R_\delta + \Delta V_1 = 0$$
 Since this form of the equation better relates the unknown currents with the known resistor values and battery voltages. Since this form of the equation better relates the unknown currents with the known resistor values and battery voltages.
