Algebra Calculator

How this tool works: Type an algebra expression or equation into the box below and press Solve (or hit Enter). The calculator will try to simplify, factor, and, if there is an = sign, solve for the main variable. Use ^ for powers (for example, x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0) and / for fractions. Your steps and results will appear in the panel underneath.

Solution Steps:

Shows simplification, factoring, and (for equations) solutions step-by-step.

  1. Enter an expression above and press Solve or hit Enter.

Examples: x^2 + x - 6, (x^2 - 1)/(x - 1), x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0, 2x + 3 = 11
