The solver apparently can not handle equations having at least two unknowns.
Thus I'm very much interested in your solution.

I couldn't find a solution the way you wanted (without using solver), couldn't work it out even in AutoCAD, so I used the HP48G solver. It's only one equation and HP48 finds the solution in no time.

I have never came across with this problem neither searched for solution on the net.

Cheers,
