I am not happy with the signs in eq.(2). For the direction you chose for i1, it should be opposed to the 12-V battery. The equation above eq.(2) looks ok, so check the steps between the two equations.

Then including the equation at the top of the page, you have a system of 3 eqs. in 3 unknowns.

[I would have chosen the direction of i1 to the left so that the result would be positive.]
 
Thank you very much for your advice!!!

I see your point about the directions... Thanks for pointing that out.
