The Algebra Equation Solver helps you quickly find the value of x
in linear equations like 2x + 3 = 7
. It’s built for speed, clarity, and flexibility solving one-step or two-step equations with optional step-by-step explanations. Whether you’re reviewing homework, building worksheets, or just double-checking math, this tool gives instant, readable answers right in your browser.
How to Use:
Paste or type one or more algebraic equations in the Input Equations box. Each equation should have one x
term and an equals sign, like:
2x + 3 = 7
The solution appears instantly in the output box. You can also toggle these options under Options:
- Show steps: explains the process (subtract, divide, etc.)
- Simplify first: reduces expressions before solving (if needed)
- Pretty formatting: formats answers like
x = 3.5
with spaces and decimal rounding
Click Convert if needed, or just type and the output updates live. Hit Copy to grab the solution with one click output flashes for feedback.
What Algebra Equation Solver can do:
This tool solves single-variable linear equations (where x
only appears once) and returns a simple answer or a breakdown of the steps used to solve it.
It’s great for:
- Students learning how to isolate variables
- Teachers creating math worksheets
- Anyone needing to solve basic algebra on the fly
Even if you enter a few equations at once, it’ll process each one and give a separate solution. If something looks wrong, you’ll get an “Invalid equation” notice no guesswork.
Example:
Input the following equations:
2x + 3 = 7
5x - 10 = 0
3x = 12
With “Show steps” and “Pretty formatting” enabled, the tool outputs:
2x + 3 = 7
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
→ Divide by 2
→ x = 2.000
5x - 10 = 0
→ Subtract -10 from both sides
→ Divide by 5
→ x = 2.000
3x = 12
→ Subtract 0 from both sides
→ Divide by 3
→ x = 4.000
Disable “Show steps” and you’ll just see:
x = 2.000
x = 2.000
x = 4.000
And with “Pretty formatting” off, the same results become:
x=2
x=2
x=4
This tool breaks down linear equations step-by-step, with optional formatting and simplification ideal for learning algebra or quickly solving homework problems.
