A source across a parallel resistance

EE 314 · Lecture 08, the transformation, right-hand side · back to the slide

This is the circuit from the lecture, running. Change it and the answer changes with it:

Change the 3 mA to 4 mA and the two forms stop agreeing. Put it back and change the 4 k instead: $v_S = R\,i_S$ has to hold, or this is simply a different circuit.
