Hallo
i have 9 nonlinear equations,like (Z =a* x^4+ b*y^4+.....) , and 9 unknowns, so i have tried to solve this with the solve function, but as result i become a long term as string how can i change this strings so that matlab would take them as commands, so that i can have a nummber as the result???
thanks in advace for your ansewrs??

PS: i am just a starter here, and i have also looked after fsolve but it doesnt do the right thing;((

Use VPA, SUBS, or DOUBLE (this last only works if those expressions contain
no symbolic variables.)
