Problems with mldivide,\

Hello guys,
i have a A*x= B equation and filled my matrices with random numbers.
I used \ to get the results for x.
But when i use the calculated x to multiplicate with A, the result should be the matrix of B. In B and C are different matrices, which i dont understand.
Do i have any mistakes here?
A=rand(183,4);
B=rand(183,1);
x=A\B;
C=A*x;

Your system is over-determined. mldivide is going to do a least-squared fitting. The reconstruction should not be expected to be the same as the original data (not unless the original data can be explained in 4 or fewer linear terms.)

You cannot fix this. You are asking to explain 183 or more independent values with only 4 coefficients.
