Pick your algebra topic
Each topic page has formulas, worked examples, practice problems, and the mistakes to avoid.
Variables on both sides, parentheses, and fractions — plus the no-solution and infinite-solution special cases.
Quadratic EquationsFactoring, the quadratic formula, and completing the square — from x² − 5x + 6 = 0 to complex roots.
Systems of EquationsSubstitution, elimination and graphing for two unknowns, including no-solution and infinite cases.
What this algebra solver covers
Algebra is the branch of math where numbers get names: unknowns like stand in for values you need to find, and equations describe how they relate. Everything from splitting a restaurant bill fairly to computing loan interest runs on it — which is why it dominates middle school, high school, and placement tests.
This solver covers the full span of high-school algebra: multi-step linear equations with variables on both sides, parentheses, and fractions — including the no-solution and infinite-solution special cases — quadratic equations by factoring, the quadratic formula, and completing the square, plus inequalities, systems of equations, exponents and radicals, and the word problems that wrap all of these in a paragraph of text.
For each problem it shows the same working a tutor would write on paper — which rule was applied at each line and why — so you can follow the reasoning, not just copy an answer. Pick a topic below for formulas, worked examples, and practice problems, or install the extension and screenshot the exact problem in front of you.
