wrong solutions in system of nonlinear equations with "vpasolve"

Hello, I am a beginner of Matlab.

I tried to solve a system of nonlinear equations (8 equation and 6 variables) with vpasolve as shown below.

The solutions do not satisfy 4 out of 8 equations. (Wrong solutions and equations that are not satisfied with the solutions are with bold letters.)

How can I fix the problem?

*Code I used

//

>> syms A B C D E x

eq1=B+C+7.5-100

eq2=A+C+E+7.5-135

eq3=D+E+7.5-15

eq4=0.7*C + x*E - A*(B+D)

eq5=0.7*(C+7.5)-B*(A+E)

eq6=0.7*C-x*7.5-(A*B-C*D)

eq7=x*(E+7.5)-D*(A+C)

eq8=x*E-0.7*7.5-(A*D-B*E)

eqs=[eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, eq5, eq6, eq7, eq8]

[A, B, C, D, E, x]=vpasolve(eqs, [A,B,C, D, E, x])

//

*Response I got

//

eq1 = B + C - 185/2

eq2 = A + C + E - 255/2

eq3 = D + E - 15/2

eq4 = (7*C)/10 + E*x - A*(B + D)

eq5 = (7*C)/10 - B*(A + E) + 21/4

eq6 = (7*C)/10 - (15*x)/2 - A*B + C*D

eq7 = x*(E + 15/2) - D*(A + C)

eq8 = E*x - A*D + B*E - 21/4

eqs = [ B + C - 185/2, A + C + E - 255/2, D + E - 15/2, (7*C)/10 + E*x - A*(B + D), (7*C)/10 - B*(A + E) + 21/4, (7*C)/10 - (15*x)/2 - A*B + C*D, x*(E + 15/2) - D*(A + C), E*x - A*D + B*E - 21/4]

Hi,

There is an syntax error in how the "vpasolve" function is being solved. Do look in the below snippet for correct syntax.

Refer vpasolve mathwork documentaton for more detail.

syms A  B C D E  x
eq1=B+C+7.5-100;
eq2=A+C+E+7.5-135;
eq3=D+E+7.5-15;
eq4=0.7*C + x*E - A*(B+D);
eq5=0.7*(C+7.5)-B*(A+E);
eq6=0.7*C-x*7.5-(A*B-C*D);
eq7=x*(E+7.5)-D*(A+C);
eq8=x*E-0.7*7.5-(A*D-B*E);

[A, B, C, D, E, x]= vpasolve(eq1 == 0, eq2 == 0, eq3 == 0, eq4== 0, eq5== 0, eq6== 0, eq7== 0, eq8== 0, [A,B,C, D, E, x])

Deaar Nagasai,

Thak you very much for youre answer.

There seem to be several different syntax to run vpaaslove. I found the syntax you described would give exact same solutions as the syntax I used.

On the other hand, I now noticed that all answers of the equations are 0 or nearly 0 (<+1.2 E-12) when I plug the solutions back into the equations. I simply upset when I saw the solutions are non zero, assuming vpasolve would always give the perect solution of 0.

Thak you again for your help anyway. I keep learnng Matlab.
