So YOU need to show YOUR best effort to work YOUR assignment. That will give us a starting point from which to see where you are going wrong and how to help you move forward.

We have three nodes there.. so let's take 1,2,3 nodes from.left to right

V1=100v
2 and 3 is supernode. So I can say.. I assumed all current are leaving so.
I1+i2+i3+i4=0

So... (V2-V1)/10+V2/60+V3/20+V3/30=0

And to find Vo=V1-V2
4V∆=V2-V3

This is what I came out with. Is it correct.?

And I1, i2, i3, and i4 are....? Don't use things that you don't define. It forces people to guess what you mean and engineering is not about guessing.

Each of those terms is meant to be a current, yet as written, they are all voltages. Track your units properly throughout your work.

Supernode 1,2: (V2-V1)/10Ω + V2/60Ω + V3/20Ω + V3/30Ω = 0

But other than the units, your node equation is correct.

And to find Vo=V1-V2
4V∆=V2-V3

So far, so good. You are very close to solving it.

What is V∆ in terms of your node voltages?

Alright. Give me some time.. I will write down everything and show you..
