Algebra Equation Solver
Enter a linear equation and solve for the variable.
Tips
- Supports simple linear equations only (e.g., ax + b = c)
- Use a single letter variable (like x, y, or z)
- Make sure to include the equals sign (=)
- For multiplication, use * (e.g., 2*x) or just write 2x
- Check the Formula Reference tab for algebraic formulas and rules
Example Equations
2x + 3 = 7
Simple linear equation
Approach:
Move constants to the right side, then divide by the coefficient of x
5x - 10 = 15
Linear equation with subtraction
Approach:
Add 10 to both sides, then divide by 5
3x + 2 = x - 4
Variables on both sides
Approach:
Move all terms with x to the left side and constants to the right side
x/2 + 3 = 8
Equation with fraction
Approach:
Subtract 3 from both sides, then multiply by 2
7 - 2x = 3
Variable with negative coefficient
Approach:
Subtract 7 from both sides, then divide by -2
4(x + 2) = 20
Equation with parentheses
Approach:
Divide both sides by 4, then subtract 2
This solver handles basic linear equations in the form of ax + b = cx + d. For more complex equations, refer to the Formula Reference for guidance on solving techniques.
