Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal.

      AB = CD

7y – 4 = 8 y – 18     Add 18 to each side

7y + 14 = 8y              Subtract 7y from each side

       y = 14

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are congruent.  This means the expressions for AB and CD are equal:

7y - 4 = 8y - 18

Add 18 to each side:

7y - 4 + 18 = 8y - 18 + 18

7y + 14 = 8y

Subtract 7y from each side:

7y + 14 - 7y = 8y - 7y

14 = 1y

14 = y
