I am having a little issue with this problem, because when I do nodal analysis, I get the voltage of the node above the 5 kΩ resistor to be nearly 15 V. I am assuming all of the capacitors are saturated, and therefore act as open circuits. That means no current goes through the 20k or 30k...

How do I find the voltage at the node with the red dot using nodal analysis? The 2Ix voltage source to the left of the node with the red dot makes it confusing for me... Thanks

So the voltage across the R2 resistor is given as vT-0 = vT But then the voltage across the R1 resistor is given as "vT-Vs1" I'm not sure which two nodes the voltage across R2 involves. Is it the same as R1? Also, I am not sure of the voltage source vs1. Across which two points does it apply?

I understand their method. However, if you use the node to the left of the 2 ohm resistor (the node where the voltage = 75 V) then you get: (75-Vx)/2 -10 = 0 so 75-Vx = 20 so Vx - 75 = -20 Vx = 55 V But this is not 25 V as it should be? When doing nodal analysis, do you have to...
