The question wants me to calculate the \$V_3\$ value,and the solution is as below. Solution: \$V_3=(\frac{10}{2}+5)(2//3)=12V\$ <!-- Begin schematic: In order to preserve an editable schematic, please don't edit this section directly.

My answer is not the same as solution's, but I don't know where am I wrong. Can anyone tell me where am I wrong? <!-- Begin schematic: In order to preserve an editable schematic, please don't edit this section directly.

I think my calculation should be correct, but the my answer is wrong.
