\textit{since we know that }\triangle FGH \cong \triangle CDE \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ HF=EC\implies -3s+44=-3t+50 \\\\\\ HG=ED\implies 6s=t+43\implies \boxed{6s-43=t} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{-3s+44=-3(6s-43)+50}\implies -3s+44=-18s+129+50 \\\\\\ 15s+44=129+50\implies 15s+44=179\implies 15s=135 \\\\\\ s=\cfrac{135}{15}\implies \boxed{s=9}\hspace{9em}\stackrel{ 6(9)-43 }{\boxed{t=11}}
