Use the diagram below to find the value of y as well as the measure of angle C and angle D

 

The image depicts a triangle \( \triangle CDE \) and a line \( EF \) extending from \( E \). 

- The angle at vertex \( C \) is labeled as \( 4y^\circ \).
- The angle at vertex \( D \) of the triangle is labeled as \( (7y + 6)^\circ \).
- The angle at \( E \), which is exterior to \( \triangle CDE \), is a linear angle with a measure of \( 116^\circ \).

This diagram can be used to explore relationships between interior and exterior angles of triangles, and to solve for \( y \) using the properties of angles and linear pairs.
