Step-by-step explanation:
For the HL theorem to be applicable, the hypotenuses must be the same length:
x+3 = y-1
and the marked legs must be the same length:
y-3 = 2x-1
__
Recognizing y-3 = (y-1) -2, we can substitute into the second equation using the first equation:
(y -1) -2 = 2x -1
(x +3) -2 = 2x -1 . . . substitute for y-1
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . add 1-x to both sides
Then the first equation tells us ...
x+4 = y = 2+4 = 6
The values of x and y are ...
x = 2, y = 6
