Quick Tips
- • Use ^ for exponents (x^2 for x²)
- • Use * for multiplication (2*x or just 2x)
- • Spaces are optional
- • Keep equations in standard form
Solution
Enter an equation to solve
How it works
A maths solver works through problems methodically: it evaluates expressions using the order of operations and solves equations by performing inverse operations on both sides. Showing each step makes the method as useful as the answer.
Solving step by step
Isolate the unknown by undoing operations in reverse order
- unknown
- the value to find
- reverse order
- undo +/− before ×/÷
Worked example
- Solve (x ÷ 2) + 3 = 7
- Subtract 3: x ÷ 2 = 4
- Multiply by 2: x = 8
x = 8.
Good to know
- Undo addition/subtraction first, then multiplication/division, to peel back to the variable.
- Keep both sides balanced at every step.
- Substitute your answer back to confirm it works.
