Finding Mass of Atoms (Experimentally)

We are given the molecular masses of $NO, N_2O, NO_2, N_2O_5$, located in exp_values.

% In matrix form
A = [1 1
     2 1
     1 2
     2 5];

 % Experimental
 exp_values = [30.006; 44.013; 46.006; 108.010];

 % The answers
 x = A\exp_values

x =

   14.0069
   15.9993

Thus, the atomic mass of N is $14.0069$ and O is $15.9993$.
