Dependent Voltage Source Pspice

Electrical Engineering Help Please?

I am struggling solving this problem. So I replicated it in PSpice and have posted it. Keep in mind that the voltage source is dependent and DC, but it is in the right orientation, as well as everything else. I need to find the voltage across R1, I4, and the power dissipated by the dependent source. Since I am not allowed to have the image in this post, I have posted it here:

Also note that the 1 and 2 next to R4 has no significance

There needs to be some type of equation or formula for the dependent voltage source. Without this, it is not solvable.

If you come up with a value or equation for the voltage source, then you can solve for the voltage across R1 using superposition.

Superposition is done by analyzing the effect on the circuit of one source at a time, then adding the effects to find the total answer. Remember that you replace Voltage Sources with a short circuit and Current Sources with an Open circuit when doing superposition. See the link below.

Also, since you have put this in PSPICE, why not just let it give you the answer (again, you need to define something for the voltage source).
