- View the solution with step-by-step explanation
What is Math Equation Solver?
This equation solver finds the value of x that makes the equation true. It handles linear equations (like 2x + 5 = 15) and quadratic equations (like x² - 5x + 6 = 0), showing you each step of the solution process.
Formula
Linear Equations: ax + b = c
Solution: x = (c - b) / a
Quadratic Equations: ax² + bx + c = 0
Solution: x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / 2a
Examples
- 2x + 5 = 15 → x = 5
- 3x - 7 = 2x + 4 → x = 11
- x² - 5x + 6 = 0 → x = 2 or x = 3
- x² - 16 = 0 → x = 4 or x = -4
FAQ
What equations can this solver handle?
This solver handles linear equations (one x term) and quadratic equations (x² terms). It solves for real number solutions.
What if there's no solution?
Some equations have no solution (contradictions like 2x = 2x + 1), infinite solutions (identities like x = x), or no real solutions (quadratics with negative discriminant).
How do I enter exponents?
Use ^ for exponents. For example, write x^2 for x squared. You can also write x² directly if your keyboard supports it.
