We can solve the following equation: 5 x - 70 = 60, where x is the height of a kakapo in inches : 5 x - 70 + 70 = 60 + 70 ( we will add 70 to the both sides of an equation ), 5 x = 130, x = 130 : 5, x = 26 inches. We can prove it: 26 * 5 - 70 = 130 - 70 = 60 inches ( the height of an emu in inches ). Answer: The height of a kakapo is 26 inches.
