Notice first that Vo = 2Ω*io. This has to be true because all of these elements are in parallel. Their top ends are connected and their bottom ends are connected so they all have the same voltage across them.
Using KCL we can write:
6 = io+io/4 + (2*io)/8 = 6*io/4 = 3*io/2 => 12 = 3*io => io = 4
Vo = 2*io = 8V

Let;
I1 = 6A source
I2 = ie/4 amps
R1 = 2 Ohms
R2 = 8 Ohms
Vo = node voltage at junction at top of diagram
Ground reference at bottom
Solve for Vo;
Vo*(1/R1 + 1/R2) - I1 + I2 = 0
I2 = ie/4
Vo*(1/R1 + 1/R2) - I1 + ie/4 = 0
ie = Vo/R1
Vo*(1/R1 + 1/R2) - I1 + Vo/(4*R1) = 0
collect terms;
Vo*(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/(4*R1 ) - I1 = 0
Vo*(1/R1 + 1/(4*R1) + 1/R2 ) - I1 = 0
V0*[5/(4*R1) + 1/R2] - I1 = 0
V0*[5/(4*R1) + 1/R2] = I1
V0 = I1/[5/(4*R1) + 1/R2]
Vo = 6/(5/8+1/8)
Vo = 8 V .................. Answer
ie = 8/2
ie = 4 A .................. Answer
