Answer:

The value of y is y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

AB = 6y – 3, BC = 4y – 5, and CD = 7y – 18

We define the isosceles trapezoid as it has two opposites parallel, the two other opposites legs are equal and also the diagonals are equal.

Here AB = CD

6y-3 = 7y-18

Combine the like terms:

18-3 = 7y-6y

15 = y

It means the value of y is  y=15....
