Word Problem is driving me crazy and anyone help?

The function H described by H(x)=2.75 x + 71.48 can be used to predict the height in centimeters of a woman whose humerus (THE BONE FROM THE ELBOW TO THE SHOULDER) is x cm long. Predict the height of a woman whose humerus is 34 cm long is _____ cm.Word Problem is driving me crazy and anyone help?
Just plug the value into the equation and solve for H.

H(34)=2.75*34 + 71.48

Simplify the expression by solving the multiplication.

H(34)= 93.5 + 71.48

Simplify the expression by solving the addition.

H(34)= 164.98
H(x)=2.75 x + 71.48

H(34)=(2.75 *34) + 71.48

= 164.98cmWord Problem is driving me crazy and anyone help?
164.98 cm
