Starting with
b = .26h - 18.85
...
Add 18.85 to both sides
highlight%2818.85%29+%2B+b+=+.26h+-+cross%2818.85%29+%2B+cross%2818.85%29
...
18.85 +b = .26h
Divide both sides by .26
%2818.85+%2B+b%29%2Fhighlight%28.26%29+=+%28cross%28.26%29h%29%2Fcross%28.26%29
...
h = %2818.85+%2B+b%29%2F.26
which is the same as
highlight_green%28h+=+72.5+%2B+b%2F.26%29
