see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

if OP ll LN

then

by proportion


(MO)/(ML) =(MP)/(MN)

we have that


MO=28\ units \\ML=28+14=42\ units\\MP=y\ units\\MN=(y+18)\ units

substitute


(28)/(42) =(y)/((y+18))\\ \\28(y+18)=42y \\ \\42y-28y=28*18 \\ \\14y=504 \\ \\y=36\ units

therefore

the answer is

The value of y is
36\ units
