Answer :

Explanation

Using the data of the statement, we make the following diagram:

From the diagram, we see that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} AB=CD, \\ 7y-4=8y-18. \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solving this equation for y, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -4=8y-18-7y, \\ -4=y-18, \\ y=18-4, \\ y=14. \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer

y = 14
