My initial attempt had me combining the 40 and 20 ohm resistors in series, then combining the result with the 120 ohm resistor in parallel (top).
However, this was incorrect. According to my answering guide, the correct method was to transform the voltage source into a current source, then combine the 10 and 120 ohm resistors in parallel. Finally, you're supposed to add the 60 ohm equivalent resistor at the end after reverting the current source back to a voltage source (bottom), which would end up dropping by 1 volt.
This seems confusing and counter to every other circuit I've analyzed this semester. Can someone explain to me what's going on here?
