The sum of voltages along the loop is zero. Include the voltage of the generator and write up KVL,

Whats the generator? Isn't it 2mA? How do you get 2mA in volts?
 


The generator supplies 2 mA current, but there is some voltage across it. You need to find that voltage from KVL.The sum the voltages across the resistors + the voltage across the generator is zero.
