There are two ways to say the answer:
#1). " 'X' an be anything you want. Whatever it is, 'y' is 9 more than 5 times it."
#2). " 'Y' can be anything you want. Whatever it is, 'x' is 1.4 less than one fifth of it."
Whichever way you choose to say it, there are an infinite number of examples of it.

5x+18 = 2x+9 5x-2x = 9-18 3x = -9 x = -3 and y = 3
x = -1.2, y = -3
It will be any of the equations that has the same slope of y = 5x+9 but with a different y intercept
5x + y = 6 so that y = 6 - 5x Also x +2y = 1 so that x + 2*(6-5x) = 1 or x + 12 - 10x = 1 => 9x = 11 or x = 11/9 and then y = 6 - 5x = 6 - 55/9 = -1/9
y=5x+2 if y equals -4
