Using LTspice, you input the resistor values and source. The simulation shows exactly ( v_1 = 10V, v_2 = 5V ). Your earlier attempt was wrong because you omitted the dependent source term.
Ultimately, the relationship between a student and the Electric Circuits solution manual should be one of restraint and verification, not dependency. The most effective use of the resource is to treat it as a "grader" rather than a "tutor." The student should attempt a problem in its entirety, arriving at a result through independent logic, before consulting the solution. If the answer is verified, the student’s confidence is solidified. If it is not, the solution manual serves as a map to find where they got lost.
When reviewing a solution, ask yourself why the author chose a specific node as the reference or why they used a specific transformation. Where to Find Verified Resources
