How would you go about solving for x and y?

Easiest solution: Wolfram.

Looking at it:
x^2-3^y=-4365
We want the left side to be negative. 3^y grows faster than x^2.
Or, x^2=3^y-4365
Powers of 3:
1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, 6561

6561-4365=2196
2196^(1/2)~=46.86
...
3^12-4365=527076
527076^(1/2)=726

x=726, y=12

Trial and error. You can probably use logs to split the equation.
