Homework Statement


I need to find the thevinin equivalent for points AB.

The Attempt at a Solution


I know the Is current is splitting equally between R1 and R3, but doesn't go to R2 because of the dependent current source.
so i thought that through:
I(R5) = Is
and I(R3)=Is/2
so the Vab=-3/2*IS*R
but this is wrong.
where is my mistake?
thanks!
