Answer:

50

Explanation:

Since it's given that these are similar triangles then the measure of angles are equal

2y - 40 = y + 10 transfer like terms to the same side of equation

2y - y = 10 + 40 do the calculation (notice how the terms changes sign from + to - and from - to + when they are transferred)

y = 50
