Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the emu be [tex]e[/tex].

Let the height of the stuffed canary be [tex]s[/tex].

[tex]e=22[/tex]

[tex]e=2s-14[/tex]

Substitution method.

[tex]22=2s-14[/tex]

Adding 14 to both sides.

[tex]36=2s[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2.

[tex]18=s[/tex]

The height of the stuffed canary is 18 inches long.
