syms Tan Man Lan eqns vars L av bv cv
Tan =- b - 2 == 0;
Man = c + 1 == 0;
Lan = a + b - 3*c - 1 == 0;
eqns = [Tan Man Lan];
vars = [a b c];
L = solve(eqns,vars,'ReturnConditions',true)
av=L.a
bv=L.b
cv=L.c
Error is Empty sym: 0-by-1

First, I would point out you seem to think you need to define all of your variables.
syms Tan Man Lan eqns vars L av bv cv
Yet ALL of those variables were defined later.
In fact, the only variables in your code that you never defined as symbolic, were the ones you really need to define! That is, a,b,c all need to be created as symbolic variables, you you never did that.

syms a b c
Tan = -b - 2 == 0;
Man = c + 1 == 0;
Lan = a + b - 3*c - 1 == 0;
[av,bv,cv] = solve(Tan,Man,Lan,a,b,c)
This is a linear system, so there is no need even to specify the returnconditions.
As you can see, the only thing I needed to define as symbolic were the variables a,b,c. Everything else is then derived from them.
