I CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER AND I REALLY NEED HELP

y = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance between the lines j and l is 10.

The total distance between the lines k and l is 9.

To find the distance between the lines j and k we can use the given information.

10 (distance between j and l) - 9 (distance between k and l) = 1 (the distance between the lines j and k).

So the distance between lines j and k is 1.

In the given picture the distance is shown as 2y-10.

This means 2y - 10 = 1

Now we need to solve this equation to find y.

2y - 10 = 1

2y = 1 + 10

2y = 11

y = 11/2

y = 5.5

(NOTE: We are not including 4 in the process of finding the value of y because this particular line is not similar to the line where y is )
