Problem solving a set of equations with multiple variables.

I have a set of equations with multiple variables and was wondering how best to solve them in Matlab, I have tried a few different functions but the results are well off. I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction to solving this issue.

The equations are as follows.

A=0;

0.26161B = 0.14251A + 0.11909C -0.06830;

0.17769C = 0.11909B + 0.05859D +0.18279;

0.08109D = 0.05859C + 0.02249E +0.25882;

E=0;

Many thanks.

Writing an equation solver on your own would be a tremendous undertaking. There are two easier ways:

1. Use Symbolic Math Toolbox : see here Solve Algebraic Equation

2. Do it yourself, the old-fashion way. But then MATLAB will be merely a calculator for you...

Joe,

Managed to complete it with using the symbolic function.

Many thanks!
