Problem with current splitting in circuit

[geft]

I have no idea why my working is incorrect. This is my starting equation:

v1/5.8k + (v1 - 2.3)/2.4k = 2/k

From there, I got v1 = 5.02 V and i0 = 1.13 mA

To check my answer, I run a simulation on PSPICE, but it returned v1 = 5.8 V and i0 = 1mA

Essentially, the current splits equally at node v1, but it shouldn't be as the resistances on both sides don't seem to be equal.

Node analysis, split current problem

EDIT: Ah, I got it. I didn't know the resistance on the right side needs to be summed up.

But you have only included the 2.4k resistor in your formula - did you leave the 1.1k when calculating i0 ?
