x = 6- y
Is my answer right ?

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
Yes, your answer is correct. The number of people on the bus can be calculated by subtracting the number of people who got off (y) from the initial number of people on the bus (x) and then adding the number of people who got on (6).
So, the expression for the number of people on the bus would be:
Number of people on the bus = x - y + 6.
