How do i solve equations for 2 unknowns?

I have just started to learn MATLAB. I just need to know how do i code to solve the following 2 equations to find the unknowns co-ordinates (x,y). The equations are as below. V being Velocity. T1,T2 denote time. (X1,Y1), (X2,Y2) indicate 2 known co-ordinates.
V*T1= sqrt((X1- X )^2+(Y1- Y )^2) and V*T2= sqrt((X2- X )^2+(Y2- Y )^2)

 Accepted Answer

syms X Y X1 X2 Y1 Y2 T1 T2 V
sol=solve(V*T1==sqrt((X1- X )^2+(Y1- Y )^2),V*T2==sqrt((X2- X )^2+(Y2- Y )^2),X,Y)

Thank you for you prompt reply sir. I tried, but how do i input the values for all variables except (x,y). Because i tried to initialize but am getting an error "Error using ==>char, Conversion to char from logical is not possible." how do i rectify the same?
