Answer :

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC = BC then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠A = ∠B = 50°, thus

∠C = 180 - (50 + 50) ← sum of angles in Δ = 180°

     = 180 - 100 = 80°, hence

5y + 10 = 80 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

5y = 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 14
