We examine the solubility of a diagonal, translation invariant, quadratic equation system in arbitrary (dense) subsets $\mathcal{A}$ ⊂ ℤ and show quantitative bounds on the size of $\mathcal{A}$ if there are no non-trivial solutions. We use the circle method and Roth's density increment argument. Due to a restriction theory approach we can deal with equations in s ≥ 7 variables.
