The solution is a pair of numbers ... one for 'x' and one for 'y' ... that
makes the equation a true statement. There are an infinite number
of solutions. If you use the equation to draw a graph, then the graph
of it is a straight line without ends, and every point on the line is a
solution to the equation.
Here are a few of them:
(In each pair, the first number is 'x', the second number is 'y'.)
