The angles at the opposite sides of point R are vertical opposite angles

The value of y in the figure is 29

Vertical angles are equal.

So, we have:

4y - 8 = 79 + y

Collect like terms, in the above equation

4y - y = 79 + 8

Evaluate the like terms

3y = 87

Divide both sides by 3

y = 29

Hence, the value of y in the figure is 29
