There are several ways to do it. Here are three:
In[1]:= x = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Out[1]= {2,3,4,5,6}
In[2]:= y = {True, False, False, True, True}
Out[2]= {True,False,False,True,True}
In[3]:= First/@Select[Transpose@{x,y},#[[2]]&]
Out[3]= {2,5,6}
In[4]:= Select[Transpose@{x,y},#[[2]]&][[All,1]]
Out[4]= {2,5,6}
In[5]:= Select[MapThread[If[#2,#1]&,{x,y}],NumberQ]
Out[5]= {2,5,6}
