Answer:

(6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid the length of the two legs (i.e. AB = 5y-10 and CD = 2y+8) are equal. In other words,

5y - 10 = 2 y + 8

Subtract 2y from each side:

5y - 2y - 10 = 8

Now add 10 to each side

5y - 2y - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10 =>

3y + 0 = 18 =>

3y = 18 =>

y = 6
