Homework Statement



Circuit schematic with two nodes V1 and V2, resistors of 10k and 1k ohms, a 2 mA current source, a dependent current source 2Ix, and output current Io, followed by four numbered nodal equations and results.


Homework Equations



V=IR, Nodal Analysis

The Attempt at a Solution



1 and 2 in the diagram are the nodal equations. Considering that the left node is V1 and that the right node is V2. I don't know how to get from the nodal equations to step 3. I know that you go from step 3 to step 4 using V=IR.

I tried solving the nodal equations to get to step 3...

Can someone please work it out for me? Thank you

Please help
 
In (2) replace Ix with V1/10K. Solve for an expression for V1. Substitute this expression for V1 into (1). Solve for V2. All done.

Ohh wow. Now I feel dumb(er, as many would argue here at pf)...

Thanks for the help gneill!
