Help with Supernode Problem: V's, Solutions and More

[MTSFTS]

I have no idea how to do this guys, where do i put all my V's? And how do i go about doing this problem? I'm in need of lots of help :/

You can start by studying this: http://www.calvin.edu/~svleest/circuitExamples/NodeVoltageMeshCurrent/
This should enable you to give your problem a try and ask more specific questions.

I have a hard time understanding what I am doing here but that is what i got so far.

V1-v2=8
[(V1-4)/6]+(v1/12)+(v2/12)-2=0

Where does i0 come into place?

The problem states that you should use the mesh analysis method. It looks like you're trying to do some sort of KCL node equations instead.

Draw the circuit, identify the meshes (loops), and "walk around" the meshes writing down the KVL mesh equations as you go. What do you get for the two equations?

That was the wrong picture i put up the first time,

The correct one is the one on my most recent post:

Ah. I see.

Well, it looks as though you've got correct equations. Solve for V1 and then you can determine Io.
