k = Keith's height
n = nephew's height

(1)
Then, Keith's height is increased by 16%, so the new height of Keith is
(2)
While the nephew's height is doubled:
(3)
We also know that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew, so
(4)
Substituting (2) and (3) into (4), we get
And substituting (1),
Solving for n,
So the current height of the nephew is:
While Keith's current height is
So their total current height is
Again, a spreadsheet or suitable calculator makes this short work.
The sum is 184.
_____
The terms being summed are ...
2·3² +3 = 2·9 +3 = 18 +3 = 21
2·4² +3 = 35
2·5² +3 = 53
2·6² +3 = 75
Their total is
21 +35 +53 +75 = 184
The sum is 184.
