How can I graph this Lagrange Equation?

My code works and gives results, but there is a problem with the graph, it is blank, how can I fix it?
syms x1 x2 x3 y1 y2 lambda
g = x1+x2+x3+y1+y2 - 10;
L = 12*x1-x1^2+8*x2-x2^2+18*x3-3*x3^2+24*y1-y1^2+10*y2-5*y2^2+lambda*g;
Lx1 = diff(L,x1);
Lx2 = diff(L,x2);
Lx3 = diff(L,x3);
Ly1= diff(L,y1);
Ly2= diff(L,y2);
Llambda = diff(L,lambda);
s = solve([Lx1,Lx2,Lx3,Ly1,Ly2, Llambda])
Lopt = subs(L,[x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,lambda],[s.x1,s.x2,s.x3,s.y1,s.y2,s.lambda])
%solution is over. lets make a graph.
drawingrange=[-10,10];
fig=figure;
hold on;
set(fig,'defaultLineLineWidth',5);
axis equal;
%2D graphs
fcontour(Lopt,drawingrange);
h=gplot(g,drawingrange);
fprintf('number of solutions:%i\n', size(s.lambda,1));
for i=1:size(s.lambda,1)
fprintf('x1%i, x2%i, x3%i, y1%i, y2%i, lambda%i: %f\t;%f\t;%f\t;%f\t;%f\t;%f\t',...
i,i,i,i,i,i,double(s.x1(i)),double(s.x2(i)),double(s.x3(i)),...
double(s.y1(i)),double(s.y2(i)),double(s.lambda(i)))
end

How do you want to plot a function that depends on 5 or 6 independent variables ?

Hi Sena,
"fcontour" function can be used to plot the contour lines of symbolic expression f(x,y), which means that it is suitable to plot a symbolic expression with no more than 2 independent variables, but you are trying to use it to plot an expression with 6 independent variables because of which it is outputting an empty graph.
To visualize your solution, it would require a 6D space which is not possible.
Please refer to this MATLAB answer for more information on how you can visualize your solution by breaking it into parts.
