Explanation:

I am not sure this is a square.

this could be a rectangle.

to be safe, I am following that path.

in a rectangle opposite sides are of equal length.

that means

y - 1 = 2y - 7

y = 2y - 6

0 = y - 6

y = 6

3x - 4 = 3y - 13

3x - 4 = 3×6 - 13

3x - 4 = 18 - 13 = 5

3x = 9

x = 3

as it turns out, it is a square, so we could have used every side expression to be equal with every other side expression, but better safe than sorry ...
