Can MATLAB easily solve a system of polynomial equations?

Hey, I have a quick MATLAB question that might seem obvious, but I just can't find any documentation that can figure out my issue.
Let's say you have a system:
R = A x^2 + B x + C
S = 4A x^2 + 5B x + 2C
T = 5A x^2 + 8B x + 4C
Is there a way to solve for A, B,and C directly through MATLAB? Thanks.

If x is the unknown variable
v=[A B C -R]
roots(v)
Do this to all your equations, then find the intersection

You want to solve for A, B, and C. So assuming that the rest of variables are given, you find the solution by:
ABC = [x^2 x C; 4*x^2 5*B 2*C; 5*x^2 8*B 4*C]\[R; S; T];
A = ABC(1);
B = ABC(2);
C = ABC(3);
