There are infinitely many answers to this question!
How about x = -5
and y = 2?

Explanation:

So, start out by writing an expression in x and y: 3x - 4y
Then, substitute in your values x = -5 and y = 2:

#3(-5)-4(2)# =#-15-8=-23#.

Your first equation can be 3x - 4y = -23.

Repeat with any equation you would like:
y = x + __?
Substitute:
2 = -5 + ?
and solve:
2 = -5 + 7.

Your second equation could be: y = x + 7

As a more advanced student, you could include other operations such as powers, roots, and fractions and decimals! Have fun writing!
