Electronic – calculated Voltage explanation

circuit analysis

The blue highlighted values are the answers, but can sombody explain how my teacher got 120v for the 4k resistor and 60v for the 2k resistor? the only one I could figure out is the right side where I showed 1 calcuation….

circuit

I was running through practice problems that my teacher provided for us to prep for the coming exam… but I cant understand how he came to those voltage values.

If two resistors are in series then they have the same current. Also, the \$30mA\$ current source is in series with the \$2k\Omega\$ and \$4k\Omega\$ resistors. Therefore the \$4k\Omega\$ resistor has \$30mA\$. By Ohm's Law \$4k\Omega * 30mA = 120V\$. Likewise for the \$2k\Omega\$ resistor: \$2k\Omega * 30mA = 60V\$.
