Find the hypotenuse of one triangle and its corresponding side in the other triangle and set the expressions equal. Then find the leg of one triangle and its corresponding side in the other triangle and set the expressions equal. Now you have a system of equations. Solve the system of equations to find x and y.

that is making in complicated cx

In a multiple choice question of a system of equations, you can always try all solutions to see which one works. What if you were not given choices? How would you find the values of x and y? Then you'd have to solve the system of equations. In this case, you're not even given the system of equations. First, you must understand the geometry part to get the system of equations. Then you need to solve it.
