Solve system of 3 variable equations

Hi guys and thanks in advance. I am working on matlab code to solve me a system of 3 variables (a, b and c) and print them out. Here is my code:
X1=input('X1');
X2=input('X2');
X3=input('X3');
syms a b c
eq1= a+b;
eq2=a+b*exp(-105*c);
eq3=a+b*exp(-180*c);
eqns=[eq1==X1, eq2==X2, eq3==X3];
S = solve(eqns, [a b c])
S.a
S.b
S.c
However, when I run to check it the solver keep running forever. I also tried to write the full equations like this
eqns=[a+b==X1, a+b*exp(-105*c)==X2, a+b*exp(-180*c)==X3];
But still didn't work either.
I appreciate if someone can tell me where my mistake is and help correct it.
Again Thanks in advance.

Hi,
since you want to calculate values, follow Torstens suggestion and use fsolve to solve your nonlinear system:
X1 = input('X1');
X2 = input('X2');
X3 = input('X3');
options = optimoptions('fsolve','display','off');
x = fsolve(@(x)eqs(x,X1,X2,X3),ones(1,3),options);
fprintf('a = %.5f\nb = %.5f\nc = %.5f',x(1),x(2),x(3));
function F = eqs(x,X1,X2,X3)
a=x(1);
b=x(2);
c=x(3);
F(1)= a+b-X1;
F(2)= a+b.*exp(-105.*c)-X2;
F(3)=a+b.*exp(-180.*c)-X3;
end
Best regards
Stephan

It gives No solution found. , what values did you give to X1,X2 and X3 Stephen?
