Step 1 :The problem states that the perimeter of the pentagon is 68 units. However, the problem does not provide the lengths of the other sides of the pentagon or any other information that could be used to find the value of $y$. Therefore, it is not possible to find the value of $y$ with the given information.
Step 2 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{The problem does not provide enough information to find the value of } y}\)
