Find

1.KCL at the top node

2.KVL around the right loop
3.Find i1, i2, vo

FTeK
KCL at the top node: 1.5 = I1 + I2
(1)
KVL around the right loop (clock wise):
150 I2 + 250 I2 100 I1 = 0
100 I1 = 400I2 or
I1 = 4 I2
(2)
Replacing (2) in (1) we get 1.5 = 4I2 + I2
I2 = 1.5/5 = 0.3A
From (2) I1 = 4 x 0.3 = 1.2 A
V0 = 100 I1 = 120 V
