Answer: y = 3

===========================================================

This is because quadrilateral JMQP is also a parallelogram. Note the arrow markers to tell us that JM is parallel to PQ, and also JP is paralle to QM.

A parallelogram has its opposite sides parallel, and those opposite sides are the same length.

JM = PQ and JP = QM

Because y = QM, QM = JP, and JP = 3, this means y = 3.
