Answer:

x=1

y=4

Explanation:

Assuming the figure is a rhombus where the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors, solve for x and y by setting each segment equal to each other.

If they are bisectors, then 3x+2=y+1 and x+3=y. Solve for x by substituting y=x+3 into 3x+2=y+1. It becomes:

3x+2 = (x+3)+1

3x+2=x+3+1

3x+2=x+4

3x-x+2=x-x+4

2x+2=4

2x=2

x=1

To find y, substitute x=1 into one of the equations.

y=x+3

y=(1)+3

y=4
