#y=5# Degrees

.

We know the sun of the angles of any triangle is #180#. Therefore:

#4y+10+3x+75=180#

#4y+3x+85=180#

#4y=180-3x-85#

#4y=95-3x#

#y=(95-3x)/4#

But since the triangle shown is an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are congruent:

#3x=75#

We will plug this in:

#y=(95-75)/4=20/4=5# Degrees

#y=5#

#AC# and #AB# are equal so,

#3x = 75#

Sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is #180^@#.

#(4y+10) + 75 + 3x = 180#
#4y+10 + 3x = 105#
#4y+ 3x = 95#

From above,

#4y + 75 = 95#
#4y = 20#
#y = 5#
