Answer: x = -2

Hints: Using determinant, find area of triangle and find value of x.

\boldsymbol{Given\: \! :} \left ( x,4 \right )\! , \left ( 2,-6 \right )\; and\; \left ( 5,4 \right ).

                area of triangle = 35 sq. Units.

\boldsymbol{Explanation:} V\! ertices\; are \left ( x,4 \right )\! , \left ( 2,-6 \right )\; and\; \left ( 5,4 \right ).

\text { Area of triangle is }=\Delta=\frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{lll} X_{1} & Y_{1} & 1 \\ X_{2} & Y_{2} & 1 \\ X_{3} & Y_{3} & 1 \end{array}\right|

                                    \Rightarrow \Delta=\frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{lll} x & 4 & 1 \\ 2 & -6 & 1 \\ 5 & 4 & 1 \end{array}\right|=35

                                       \Delta =\frac{1}{2}\left ( x\! \begin{vmatrix} -6 & 1\\ 4 & 1 \end{vmatrix}-4\! \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 5 & 1 \end{vmatrix}+1\! \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -6\\ 5 & 4 \end{vmatrix} \right )=35

                                          \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}[x(-6-4)-4(2-5)+1(8-(-30))]=35

                                          \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}[x(-10)-4(-3)+1(38)]=35

                                          \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}[-10x+12+38]=35

                                          \Rightarrow -10x+50=70   

                                         \Rightarrow -10x=70-50

                                        \Rightarrow x=-2
