A scalene triangle PQR, where PQ is (3x+4)m long, QR is (2-x)m long and angle PQR is 30 degrees, has an area of 2 square metres. Find x.

Knowledge of equation Area = 1/2absinC where a = PQ b = QR and C = angle PQR, a diagram may aid with visualisation. (B1)
Substituting in values and expanding. 1/2(3x+4)(2-x)sin(30) = 2 becoming 1/4(-...
