Problem Statement
We are to determine the node voltages in the following circuit. In
addition, we are to find them using nodal analysis.

Your Analysis on the
Problem
We are to solve for the node voltages in the circuit using nodal analysis.
We label the voltages as v1 representing the unknown node voltage at
the top of the current source. The unknown node voltage between the 2ohm and 8-ohm resistors we will label as v2. The unknown node voltage
at the top of the dependent source we will label as v3. Please note that
the number of nodes represent all the nodes excluding the reference
node.

v1 = 4.8
v2 = 2.4
v3 = -2.4
Evaluate
Comments
We have successfully completed the assignment. The answers obtained
from two different approaches agree. We should also go back to the
circuit and see if the answers make sense. If they do not, my suggestion
would be to try to solve for the loop currents by using mesh analysis and
then solve for the node voltages using the loop currents. Another
approach would be to use the node voltages to determine the branch
currents and see if the satisfy Kirchhoff's current law. Looking at the
original circuit, the answers do make sense.
