G divides each median in the ratio of 2 to 1 (the longer side goes from G to the angle)
triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC (why?)
AMN is a scaled version of ABC (by a factor of ⅔)
its area should be scaled by (⅔)^2
since LM=LN there values are same which is given as 5.5 cm and MN =7cm
now draw a line LM which is 5.5 cm long. From one point of this line construct an arc 5.5 cm in upward direction.Then from the opposite end of the same line LM construct an arc 7 cm long in upward direction. Let it meet the the first arc at any point. The arcs will meet for sure at any angle. Join the two ends of line LN to this point where they meet. We get a triangle!
Remember to mark LM , LN and MN as soon as u draw them so as to avoid confusion.

So, the 2 equations would be.... B -12 = I and (B - 3) = 4(I - 3) the second sentence is irrelevant.
B - 3 = 4 (I) - 12
B - 3 = 4B - 48 - 12
B - 4B = -60 + 3
-3B = -57
B (Ben) = 19
Ishaan is 7
Hope this helps!
