If you want to solve for y and know all x(a), your parameter should be y.

the name "z" is confusing there, I don't understand if you have several
x(a) and only one value z which is a sum (as seemed to be implied by the
start of your message) or if you have one z for each x(a) as seemed to
be implied by the previous method.
If you have only one z, then the estimation algorithm is not what you
need. You need either to rewrite your equation to solve it (has Ted
proposed) or you need to use a UnivariateRealSolver from package
analysis, and use a simple loop to compute your function for the set of
x(a) you know.

This xa seems strange to me, isn't it rather a "z", or is it linked to
a "z" ?
