height = 10 + height;
It's also worth noting that when you want to set something equal to itself plus something else there is a shortcut in the form of the += operator, using that you can shorten the code to this:
height += 10;
Either way will work for this task but it's worth keeping that shortcut in mind since it is shorter and more convenient, and you will see it quite often in other developer's code.
