Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Explanation:

Since this is a square all side lengths must be equal to each other

Let's take two random sides to find the value of y first

3y - 9 = 2y - 5

3y - 2y = (-5) + 9

y = 4 if the value of y is 4 then one side length is 3

2x - 7 = 3 add 7 to both sides

2x = 10 divide both sides by 2

x = 5
