b = [0 F 0 F/2 0 0 0 0 0 0]';
Reactions = A\b
end
How do i store the "Reactions" results from each iteration of the loop into one matrix?

Note that there area some poor practices in place here, but with the most minimal change to what you already have is to create a blank matrix Reactions and then add each column to that matrix as they are developed.
clear all
clc
F = 2;
x = [.1:.05:1.9];
Reactions = [];
for i = x;
theta1 = atan((2-i)/1);
theta2 = atan(1/(2-i));
theta3 = atan(1/i);
A = [-1 -cos(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fab
0 sin(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fac
1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbd
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbc
0 sin(theta1) 0 0 -1 -cos(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fce
0 -cos(theta1) 0 -1 0 -sin(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fcd
0 0 1 0 0 cos(theta3) -1 0 0 0; %Dx
0 0 0 0 0 sin(theta3) 0 1 0 0; %Fde
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 0; %Ex
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1]; %Ey
b = [0 F 0 F/2 0 0 0 0 0 0]';
Reactions = [Reactions, A\b];
end
a better solution would be to loop over index value (instead of the values of x) and preallocate the matrix.
clear all
clc
F = 2;
x = [.1:.05:1.9];
Reactions = zeros(10,size(x,1));
for ii = 1:length(x)
theta1 = atan((2-x(ii))/1);
theta2 = atan(1/(2-x(ii)));
theta3 = atan(1/x(ii));
A = [-1 -cos(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fab
0 sin(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fac
1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbd
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbc
0 sin(theta1) 0 0 -1 -cos(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fce
0 -cos(theta1) 0 -1 0 -sin(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fcd
0 0 1 0 0 cos(theta3) -1 0 0 0; %Dx
0 0 0 0 0 sin(theta3) 0 1 0 0; %Fde
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 0; %Ex
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1]; %Ey
b = [0 F 0 F/2 0 0 0 0 0 0]';
Reactions(:,ii) = A\b;
end
disp(Reactions)
Both are valid, but the later is more efficient and clear to future readers.

Preallocation is preferred over appending datas.

F = 2;
x = .1:.05:1.9;
Reactions = cell(numel(x),1);
b = [0 F 0 F/2 0 0 0 0 0 0]'; % there's no point in defining it over and over again inside the loop.
for ii = 1:numel(x);
theta1 = atan((2-x(ii))/1);
theta2 = atan(1/(2-x(ii)));
theta3 = atan(1/x(ii));
A = [-1 -cos(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fab
0 sin(theta2) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fac
1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbd
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0; %Fbc
0 sin(theta1) 0 0 -1 -cos(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fce
0 -cos(theta1) 0 -1 0 -sin(theta3) 0 0 0 0; %Fcd
0 0 1 0 0 cos(theta3) -1 0 0 0; %Dx
0 0 0 0 0 sin(theta3) 0 1 0 0; %Fde
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 0; %Ex
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1]; %Ey
Reactions{ii} = A\b;
end
celldisp(Reactions)
cat(2,Reactions{:}) % if you want a matrix
