x and y are real, and the real and imaginary parts of the left-hand side and the right-hand sides must both be equal for the equation to be true.
Setting y = 6 and x = -3 achieves that result.

-3 + yi = x + 6i
x=-3
y=6
Complex numbers of the form a+bi require the constant a to match and the coefficient of the i to match.
