Help solving a equation system

Hello to everyone,

I'm kind of new with matlab and i've been trying to solve a system of equations for a trajectory planning algorithm.

What I need is to get the value of the variables "a13, a14, a21, a22, a23, an3 and an4" in connection with this next variables.

I have Y=C*X where:

y=[d1-a0*t1^2/2-v0*t1; -a0*t1-v0; -a0; d2; -af*tn+vf; af; dn+af*tn^2/2-vf*tn]

c=[1 1 0 0 0 0 0;3/t1 4/t1 -1/t2 0 0 0 0; 6/(t1^2) 12/(t1^2) 0 -2/(t2^2) 0 0 0; 0 0 1 1 1 0 0; 0 0 1/t2 2/t2 3/t2 -3/tn 4/tn; 0 0 0 2/(t2^2) 6/(t2^2) 6/(tn^2) -12/(tn^2); 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1]

x=[a13;a14;a21;a23;an3;an4]

As you can see the X matrix is where all the variables i need are, what i dont quite undestand is how can i get the variables from the equations. Ive tried the 'solve' function already but i keep getting an error of dimension even though the equations are well balanced.

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated.

Observe that

X = inv(C) * Y

but then read the mldivide documentation and use the \ operator instead of inv()
