Problem #1
Use mesh current analysis to find Vx.
Need a hint?
Define two mesh currents, I1 and I2. I1 is controlled by the dependent current source, so equate the two. Write down an expression for Vx using Ohm's law. Write a mesh current equation for I2, and solve for I2. Substitute this into the expression for Vx.
