What It Can Solve

x

One-Variable Equations

Solve 3x + 5 = 20, with brackets and x on both sides.

½

Fractions and Decimals

Handle x/3 + 2 = 5 and 0.5x + 0.25 = 1.

x, y

Two Equations

Solve pairs such as x + y = 5 and x − y = 1.

Worked Example: 3x + 5 = 20

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x = 15
  2. Divide both sides by 3: x = 5
  3. Check: 3 × 5 + 5 = 20 ✓

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up.

An equation where x is only to the first power, such as 2x + 3 = 11. Its graph is a straight line.

Use / for division and brackets for groups, such as (x + 1)/2 = 4.

Type both with a semicolon between them, such as x + y = 5; x – y = 1.
