Hi, I don't have any idea how to solve this system. I'm beginner so i don't knew how to write corect code. Pls help me. Equations:
(A-B-C)*5=C*6 ////
(A-B-C)*2+B*3=(A-B)*D ////
(A-B)*(2-D)=B*3 ////
(A-B)*2+B*4=B*E ////
A*2+(A-B)*3+(A-B-C)*2=50

I don't remember this problem from almost two years ago, but apparently all of us (except perhaps Muhammad Saleem) overlooked the fact that it is actually a system of five linear equations in the five unknown quantities, A, B, C, d=(A-B)*D, and e=B*E, so it can be solved for these latter five variables using matrix division. From those solutions, it is easy to then find D and E: D = d/(A-B) and E = e/B.

You can use 'solve' in the Symbolic Toolbox to solve them.
My alternate method was in error. Just use 'solve'. It does very well.

structfun(@double, sol, 'Uniform', 0)
will return back a structure whose fields are a, b, c, d, e. For any particular one of them you can use (e.g.) double(sol.b)
