Inputting String Data into a Matrix

[bronzey214]

How can I have a user enter variable names such as 'apples' then have MatLab do an equation and output apples=7 or something. I understand how to do it with one variable, but how do you do it with a user definable variablle amount such as a program that will solve a system of equations?
