The Attempt at a Solution
I was trying to solve the question using two equations,
eq1) 20=4*i1+i1
eq2) -90=9*i2+6*i2
eq3)i2-i1=6A...
So I obviously made a mistake since the 6A is doing nothing in my equations, and both equations 1 and 2 have no unknowns. Am I suppose to just use one equation, and use the super node as my second? How can I tell when I need to use only one equation?
