Answer:

[tex]x=5, y=6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If triangles ABC and AED are congruent, then its corresponding sides are congruent

so

BC=ED

AC=AD

substitute the given values

[tex]x=y-1[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]3x-2=2y+1[/tex] ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

[tex]3(y-1)-2=2y+1[/tex]

solve for y

[tex]3y-3-2=2y+1[/tex]

[tex]3y-2y=1+5[/tex]

[tex]y=6[/tex]

Find the value of x

[tex]x=y-1[/tex] ----> [tex]x=6-1=5[/tex]

therefore

[tex]x=5, y=6[/tex]
