Find the power supplied by each source in the circuit problem

500 pts ended

BEFORE SOLVING THE PROBLEM, please explain to me why the setup circuit on chegg ASSSUMES that the 8V and 3V are in series?

I am really confused about that because I though that for any element to be in series, one END of each element has to DIRECTLY connect to each other, with NO OTHER JUNCTION in between.

But in this circuit problem, the 2 ohm resistor and 3A current source is directly in between the 8V and 3V voltage source, so HOW IS IT THAT THE 2 VOLTAGE SOURCE are in SERIES???

Here's what I mean:

Please explain clearly why is that the 8V and 3V are in series BEFORE solving the circuit problem.

Thank you!
