6+x+y*y=37*37 what is the value of x?

Question

am i right in thinking there are too many variables?

Answer 1

There are too many variables if you want an answer like w = 16, but if you're okay with having y in the answer, then:

6 + x + y^2 = 37 * 37

6 + x + y^2 = 1369

x + y^2 = 1363

x = -y^2 + 1363
