The "solution" means the numerical values of 'x' and 'y' that make the statement true.
Right now, there are an infinite number of solutions. Here are a few of them:
X . . . . Y
-1 . . . . 2
2 . . . . . 4
5 . . . . . 6
8 . . . . . 8
11 . . . . 10
In general, you need the same number of separate equations as the number of "variables"
or "unknowns" in them.
Since your equation has two unknowns ... 'x' and 'y' ... you need another equation, in order to
pin the solution down to a single pair of numbers for them.

Not sure what you mean; that equation certainly has a solution.
2x + 3 = 72x = 4x = 2
An equation, solution x = -10
It does if x=2. That's the solution of your equation.
X=2
