Right
You want an expression for the number of people on the bus.
From the information given it would be:
No of people on bus = x - y + 6
You gave an "equation" which makes no sense
e.g. suppose there were 20 people on the bus, and 9 got off and 6 got on
so x=20, and y = 9
your equation would say
20 = 6 - 9
Does that make sense to you?
So I repeat,
no of people on the bus = x - y + 6
