Hello,

I've been trying to figure out the currents in easch resistor in the below image for a while now and no matter what I do I can't get the currents correctly to match the simulation. Any help will be appreciated.

Show your work so far in calculating the currents.
 
Well that's it, I get stuck right after the first branch with the 2K resistor after the source which is also 2mA and 4V across it. The current splits in both directions to the 3K and 1K. I'm just having difficulty seeing the whole picture.
 
You have three current loops. You need to write three node voltage or current loop equations and then solve those simultaneous equations to find the currents and voltages.
