How to Use FullSimplify to breakdown algebraic expression

This is one way:

FullSimplify[Solve[(x - x2)^2 + (f1 - y2)^2 == L2^2, x],
 {x1 == x3 + x2, y1 == y2 + y3}]

The assumptions are added as second argument for Simplify or FullSimplify.

Another way can be to use replacement rules:

FullSimplify[Solve[(x - x2)^2 + (f1 - y2)^2 == L2^2, x]] /.
 {x1 -> x3 + x2, y1 -> y2 + y3}
