Answer:

x = y = 2

Explanation:

You want the values of x and y that make the triangles congruent by HL, where the hypotenuses are labeled 2x+3 and 3y+1, and the legs are labeled x and y.

Congruence

For HL congruence, the legs must be congruent. This requires ...

x = y

Also, the hypotenuses must be congruent, so we have ...

3y +1 = 2x +3

Using x for y, we have ...

3x +1 = 2x +3

x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x+1

Then y = x = 2.

The values of x and y are both 2.
