**Consider the diagrams below.**

Two right triangles are shown.

- **Left Triangle:**
  - One leg is labeled \( y - x \).
  - The hypotenuse is labeled \( 3x + y \).

- **Right Triangle:**
  - One leg is labeled \( y + 5 \).
  - The hypotenuse is labeled \( x + 5 \).

**Find the values of \( x \) and \( y \) that make the right triangles congruent.**

- \( x = \) [ ]
- \( y = \) [ ]
