find Find current and voltage through the circuit

solve using kvl and kcl and find voltages and currents.enter image description here

Solve using KVL and KCL and find voltages and currents.

forFor this iI took i1=i2+i3
 $$i_1=i_2+i_3$$ v1=2i1
$$v_1=2i_1$$ v2=8i2
$$v_2=8i_2$$ v3=4i3
$$v_3=4i_3$$

The equations iI got by assuming loop 1 and loop 2 were 5i2 + i3 = 5 and (-2i3 + 4i2 = -3)$$5i_2 + i_3 = 5$$ and
 $$-2i_3 + 4i_2 = -3$$

onOn solving imI'm getting i2=0.5A\$i_2=0.5\text{ A}\$ and i3=2.5A\$i_3=2.5\text{ A}\$ but the answer key says i2=500mA\$i_2=500\text{ mA}\$ and i3=1.25A
 \$i_3=1.25\text{ A}\$.

iI don't understand where my mistake is. please help enter image description here
