y =

Explanation:

Step1: Use property of congruent triangles

Since $\triangle TRG\cong\triangle MKG$, corresponding sides are equal. We can set up an equation using the corresponding - side lengths. Let's assume that $TG = MG$. So, $2y−3 = 13$.

Step2: Solve the equation for y

Add 3 to both sides of the equation: $2y-3 + 3=13 + 3$, which simplifies to $2y=16$.

Step3: Isolate y

Divide both sides of the equation $2y = 16$ by 2: $\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{16}{2}$, so $y = 8$.

Answer:

$y = 8$
