Step-by-step explanation:

Length of green line = length of black line

Length of green line = 26

Total length of black line = h + h + *

Total length of black line = 2h + 8

Equate the two expressions

26 = 2h + 8

Collect the like terms

26 - 8 = 2h

18 = 2h

Isolate h by dividing both sides by 2

18/2 = 2h/2

h = 18/2

h = 9

The equation is 26 = 2h + 8
