Finding voltage in circuit with both voltage and current source

Hi, I am wondering about how to find voltage across the current source.

The formula that my school gave out was

V2 = 1/(1+R1/R2 * (1/(1+A)) * V1
(Current generated by current source is A * i1. A is some constant)

How do you get to this?

I would suggest using superposition. First work out the voltage with V1 shorted and then work out the voltage with CCS1 open-circuit. Then add these two results.
