Answer:

y=13 degrees

Explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle, we know this because NO and NM are equal.

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent. In this case, they are angle NOM and angle NMO.

We also know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle are equal to 180.

With this information, we can make an equation by gathering all the interior angles:

8y+2(3y-1)=180

Solve for y.

8y+6y-2=180

14y-2=180

14y=182

y=13
