error in solving system of nonlinear equations

1 view (last 30 days)
I am trying to solve four nonlinear equation simultaneously on matlab. But I am getitng the "Comma separated list expansion has cell syntax for an array that is not a cell".
The screenshot of error is attached.
My code is given below.
syms x y z T
x1=1;
x2=1;
x3=1;
x4=1;
y1=1;
y2=1;
y3=1;
y4=1;
z1=1;
z2=1;
z3=1;
z4=1;
c=1;
t1=1;
t21=1;
t31=1;
t41=1;
eq1 = ((x1 - x)^2 + (y1 - y)^2 + (z1 - z)^2 )^1/2 - (c * t1) + (c * T)==0;
eq2 = ((x2 - x)^2 + (y2 - y)^2 + (z2 - z)^2 )^1/2 - (c * t21) - (c*t1) + (c*T)==0;
eq3 = ((x3 - x)^2 + (y3 - y)^2 + (z3 - z)^2 )^1/2 - (c * t31) - (c*t1) + (c*T)==0;
eq4 = ((x4 - x)^2 + (y4 - y)^2 + (z4 - z)^2 )^1/2 - (c * t41) - (c*t1) + (c*T)==0;
sol = solve(eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4);
xSol = sol.x
ySol = sol.y
zSol = sol.z
TSol = sol.T

What release are you using? When I run this code I don't get this error.
Did you notice the warning above the error? There is no explicit solution, so when you try to extract it that doesn't really make sense.

Kindly guide what should I do

Edited: madhan ravi on 4 Jun 2020
sol = solve([eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4],[x,y,z,T]); %proper way to use solve

getting the same error using the command you gave for solve function.
Kinldy guide how can I use fsolve in this code

Are you sure there should be an explicit solution? What would you expect your output to be if you wanted to solve sin(x)==2?
