How do you define the varible x and y varible in matlab r2007b?

I tried to do sym x y and syms x y, but it keeps on saying
"??? Undefined function or method 'sym' for input arguments
of type 'char'."

My first step would be to try which sym or which syms to
make sure you are using the symbolic toolbox

The symbolic toolbox is an optional extra-cost addition to Matlab
that has to be licensed and installed. You can check with 'ver'
to see whether Matlab believes that you have a licensed version
of the symbolic toolbox installed.
