Find the voltage at point X on the circuit

[mathman44]

Homework Statement

Here is the circuit:

I have found I1 to be -39.23A, I2 to be -25.38A, but I'm having difficulty reasoning how to find the voltage of point X.

The Attempt at a Solution

Here is what I tried. I calculated Req for the entire system by V/I = 2.039. Since there is already a 2 ohm resistor in the first loop, the system can be reduced to one loop with the 2 ohm resistor and a 0.039 resistor in place on the 3 ohm. Now "X" is between this 0.039 resistor and the 2 resistor, so using Kirchoff's law I found that X has a voltage of 78.46 or 1.54. Does this seem logical? I have to admit I'm grasping for straws here.

The "earth" symbol at bottom left means that point in the circuit is taken as zero volts for reference purposes.
The voltage at X is simply, then, the pd between X and the Earth point.
One way you can find it is from the emf of the 80V battery and the pd across the 2 ohm resistor.

Thanks, that sounds like a much simpler way of doing what I did!
