Answer:  The height of the stuffed toy canary is 18 inches so Jesus is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the first statement by the equation  22= 2x - 14    where x is the height of the stuffed toy canary  so solve for x

22 = 2x -14   Add 14 to both sides

+14          +14

36 = 2x       Divide both sides by 2

x = 18  

Jesus is right.
