Electronic – Basic KCL question

kirchhoffs-laws

I need to find the currents I1 and I2 in this circuit:
enter image description here

I apply KCL to node A to obtain:

\$5+1-I_1-I_2=0\$

or

\$I_1+I_2 = 6\$

However, I am stuck here. How do I solve this circuit?

One current supply cannot circulate current in the other mesh. There won't be any steady state electrical charge transfer between the meshes. Each meshes are independent circuits. The connection at point-A only keeps the meshes at the same potential; just like putting a common ground between two circuits.

There are two independent mesh current equations, each of them having only one unknown variable. Therefore, I1=1A and I2=5A.
