Convert the symbolic output from "solve(X)" into an actual number?

I have a relatively simple script to compute the symbolic momentum transfer of two masses:

if true
  syms Ve Vf
  B=solve(Meff*Ue + Mfr*Uf==Meff*Ve + Mfr*Vf,...
      Meff*Ue^2 + Mfr*Uf^2==Meff*Ve^2 + Mfr*Vf^2);
  B.Ve
  B.Vf
end

However, the output is of the form:

if true
  45979398170439294812429051595678^(1/2)/16888498602639360 + 1130135171001427/5629499534213120
end

which is simply equal to

if true
  ans =

    0.6023
  end

How do I convert the output into this simple numerical value?

Cheers.

sorry may I ask?

if i have got the solver function result on matlab. but the result of the solve is in the form of a text equation. How do I convert the Text Equation result solve into a value?

thanks

example :

a_c = -0.140126955137392

b_c = -1.359255259600307

c_c = -1.256085685806453

m_b1 = 2.553927497513322

c_b1 = 9.797462866308580

syms x

eqn = a_c*(log10(x)).^2+b_c*(log10(x))+c_c== m_b1*(log10(x))+c_b1

s = solve(eqn,x)

x_1 = s(1,1)

x_2 = s(2,1)
