On this question, I used the node voltage method to formulate two equations to solve for v1 and v2.

I then used Cramer's rule to solve for the values of v1 and v2. My issue is with v2. I checked the back of my book, and v1 is correct, it should be 48V. v2, however, should be 64V. I got 39V.

Where did I go wrong?

**Educational Content: Node-Voltage Method in Circuit Analysis**

**Circuit Description and Problem Statement:**
A circuit diagram is presented in the problem statement, accompanied by the following tasks:
1. Find the voltage, \( V_1 \).
2. Determine how much power is delivered to the circuit by the 80V source.
3. Calculate the power absorbed by the 5A source.

**Node Analysis:**

1. **Node \( V_1 \):**
   - Equations:
     - \( (V_1 - V_2) / 4 + 5 = 0 \)
     - Rearranging gives: 
       - \( V_1 / 4 = V_2 / 4 + 5 \)
       - \( V_1 = V_2 + 20 \)

2. **Node \( V_2 \):**
   - Equations:
     - \( V_2 / 20 + V_2 / 80 + (V_2 - V_1) / 4 = 0 \)
     - Simplifying:
       - \( V_2 / 10 + (V_2 - V_1) / 4 = 0 \)
       - Multiply through to eliminate fractions:
         - \( 2V_2 + 5V_2 - 5V_1 = 0 \)
         - Rearranging gives:
           - \( 7V_2 - 5V_1 = 0 \)

3. **System of Equations:**
   - \( V_1 - V_2 = 20 \)
   - \( 4V_2 - V_1 / 2 = 12 \)
   - Rearranged:
     - \( 8V_2 - V_1 = 24 \) (Equation 1)
     - \( V_1 - V_2 = 20 \) (Equation 2)

4. **Matrix Representation:**

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -1 \\
-1 & 8
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
V_1 \\
V_2
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
20 \\
24
\end{bmatrix}
\]

5. **Solving the Matrix:**
   - Determinant \( \Delta = (1)(8) - (-1
