Actually, the answer would be 2 inches.
If you're interested in how I got that, first I needed to find out how much Elliott weighs now by adding 6 inches to 5 ft 11 inches, which would become 5 ft 17 inches. I then multiplied the 5 ft times 12 to get 60 inches, which I added to the remaining 17 inches. By doing that I got 77. Finally, I subtracted 77-75=2 inches, which would be the answer.
