Identify the geometric properties

Using the Properties of Rectangles knowledge point

The figure is a rectangle because it has four right angles.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length.
Therefore, the left vertical side equals the right vertical side: $10 = 2y + 4$.

Solve the linear equation for y

Using the Solving Linear Equations knowledge point
\[

\begin{aligned} 2y + 4 &= 10 \\ 2y &= 6 \\ y &= 3 \end{aligned}

\]
