That was my answer now, a few questions. It's funny how it works. The answer is a system of equations.

3.45x 2.15 and = 80 * 2.75
x + y = 80

At least one variable is removed completely, if we subtract, multiply, I propose that the basic equation, 3.45 or 2:15. I opted for 2.15:

3.45x 2.15 and = 80 * 2.75
- 2.15x 2.15 and = 80 * 2.15
= 1,30 x-0y = 48
= 1.3 x = 48

To redeem your answer for x in an equation for the value of y-connector Simple as that!
