Answer:

The value of x is -29 and the value of y is -26

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding angles and its corresponding sides are congruent

so

The length of the corresponding sides must be equal


-2x+2y=6 ----> equation A


-7x+8y=-5 ----> equation B

Note

The length of one side of the triangle equal to -5 is not logical, however we will continue with the resolution of the problem for didactic purposes.

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that

the solution of the system of equations by graphing is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (-29,-26)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of x is -29 and the value of y is -26
