How to Use the Algebra Calculator

This tool solves linear equations (like 2x+3=7) and quadratic equations (like x²-5x+6=0) step by step.

  1. Enter your equation in the input field. Use these exact formats:
    • Linear: ax+b=c (e.g., 2x+3=7)
    • Quadratic: ax²+bx+c=0 (e.g., x²-5x+6=0)
    Note: Use x for the variable and ^ for exponents (e.g., x^2). Coefficients can be decimals.
  2. Click "Solve" to see the step-by-step solution below.
  3. Read the result:
    • For linear equations, you'll get the value of x.
    • For quadratics, you'll see the discriminant and both solutions (or "No real solutions" if the discriminant is negative).

Tip: If you see an error, check that your equation matches one of the two formats above exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

It currently supports linear equations (e.g., 2x+3=7) and quadratic equations (e.g., x^2-5x+6=0).

Format: ax^2+bx+c=0. For example: x^2-5x+6=0. Use ^ for exponent.

The calculator will indicate that there are no real solutions if the discriminant is negative.
