That is shown as an equilateral triangle so you know each of the three angles is 60 degrees. You know what to do - TWO equations.

the picture is that of an equilateral triangle.

as such, each angle must be equal to 60 degrees.

this means that 8y - 4 = 60
add 4 to both sides of this equation to get 8y = 64
divide both sides of this equation by 8 to get y = 8.

that should be your answer.

here's your picture.
