I want to solve the following system of linear equations.
u1 – u2 = 11.1680
u1 – u4 = 22.8197
u3 – u5 = 8.7093
u5 – u1 = 0.3391
u5 – u2 = 11.4875
So I want to create 2 matrices and set them equal to each other and simply solve them in matrix form.
So here's what I've done:
u=sym('u%d',[5,1]); % u=[u1 ; u2 ; u3 ; u4 ; u5]
Left = [u1-u2 ; u1-u4 ; u3-u5 ; u5-u1 ; u5-u2]; % Left side of the above equation system
Right = [11.1680 ; 22.8197 ; 8.7093 ; 0.3391 ; 11.4875]; % Right side of the above equation system
solve(Left==Right)
but what MATLAB returns is this:
ans = struct with fields: u1: [0×1 sym] u2: [0×1 sym] u3: [0×1 sym] u4: [0×1 sym] u5: [0×1 sym]
What is the problem?
Has anyone any idea how I can solve these equations in matrix form?
