Step-by-Step Equation Solver
Type a linear equation. Every step shows the move, the new equation, and the reasoning behind it — so it builds understanding, not just answers.
Try:
Use x for the variable. You can use + − × (*) ÷ (/) and parentheses, e.g. 2(x + 3) = 10.
- 1
Start with the equation.
3x + 5 = 17
- 2
Subtract 5 from both sides.
3x = 12
- 3
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 4
Answer
x = 4
