What do I write for this node voltage

What Should be done
Hi,

Well Nodal is based on the sum of ALL the currents into a node, not just the current from one branch.
For example if we have three resistors all having one terminal connected to a single node Vx and each having voltage v1,v2,v3 on their other terminals then the equation is:
(v1-Vx)/R1+(v2-Vx)/R2+(v3-Vx)/R3=0

so you see the sum of all three currents into the node is zero. We can not just do (v1-Vx)/R1=0 for example because that is only one of the currents into the node.
