Transfer function

I am new to matlab'plz help me, I am trying to get a Transfer function v2/y, when i tried getting v1/y it worked, here it is: syms s ,'a','b','c','d','k'; S = solve('y=v1*(c+d+a)-v2*c','c*(s*v1-s*v2)=b*s*v2+k*v2'); S = [S.v1 /S.y] but when i try to substitute v1 for v2(in the last line) i get the an error. why as that? is there any better way of doing it? tnx.

Here it is again

syms s ,'a','b','c','d','k';

S = solve('y=v1*(c+d+a)-v2*c','c*(s*v1-s*v2)=b*s*v2+k*v2');

S = [S.v1 /S.y]

[Paulo Silva]

S = 
    v1: [1x1 sym]
     y: [1x1 sym]

There no v2 in the solution so S.v2 gives the error

If you want S.v2

syms s a b c d k 
S = solve('y=v1*(c+d+a)-v2*c','c*(s*v1-s*v2)=b*s*v2+k*v2','v2','y'); 
S = [S.v2 /S.y]

Please note that the way you were defining the symbolic variables was working fine but could be simpler like in my code.

Also note that I added 'v2' and 'y' to the solve function, this way I'm telling that I want to get the solution for the v2 and y variables, if you don't specify the variables the solver will find them for you just like in your code, but it might not give what you wanted.

Thanks for the extended answer it was very helpful.
