<h2>Correct answer:</h2>

$\boxed{v_{out}=2,85V}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We can use voltage divider to solve this problem that is defined as the passive linear circuit producing an output voltage $v_{out}$ that is a fraction of its input voltage $v_{in}$ . So we can use the formula:

$v_{out}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}v_{in}, \ where \ v_{in}=v_{s}=4V \\ \\ \therefore v_{out}=\frac{35}{14+35}(4) \\ \\ \therefore v_{out}=2,85V$
