Greetings!
The formula for the area of any triangle is as followed:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Let Statements:</u>
Let the variable...
→ 
represent the length of the base of the triangle
→ 
represent the length of the height of the triangle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the information provided from the question, we can substitute its values in place of the variables and solve for the last remaining variable:
Distribute the parenthesis<em> (The Distributive Property) </em>:
Reduce the fraction to lowest terms:
Add -6 to both sides of the equation:
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Answer to this Problem is:

Step-by-step explanation: 2(4x+6)=
\,\,34-3x
34−3x
Since HJ is a midsegment, twice HJ is equal to EG.
8x+12=
8x+12=
\,\,34-3x
34−3x
Distribute.
8x+12=
8x+12=
\,\,-3x+34
−3x+34
Communicative property to change the order
\color{red}{+3x}\phantom{+12}\phantom{=}
+3x+12=
\,\,\color{red}{+3x}\phantom{+34}
+3x+34
+3x to both sides.
11x+12=
11x+12=
\,\,34
34
\phantom{11x}\color{red}{-12}\phantom{=}
11x−12=
\,\,\color{red}{-12}
−12
-12 to both sides.
11x=
11x=
\,\,22
22
\frac{11x}{11}=
11
11x
=
\,\,\frac{22}{11}
11
22
Divide both sides by 11
x=
x=
\,\,2

Value of x
HJ=
HJ=
\,\,4x+6
4x+6
Value of HJ
HJ=
HJ=
\,\,4(2)+6
4(2)+6
Plug in x.
HJ=
HJ=
\,\,8+6
8+6
Multiply.
HJ=
HJ=
\,\,14

-3n=26
n=26/3
It is the fraction form.
Scott is 62+3=65 inches tall, and there are 12 inches in a foot, so you get 65/12=about 5 whole feet. 5 whole feet is 60 inches in total, so we have a leftover 5 inches, meaning that Scott is 5 feet and 5 inches tall.
