Frequently Asked Questions

This solver handles simple linear equations with one variable. It supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses. Examples include: 2x + 3 = 7, 3(x - 2) = 9, x/4 + 5 = 8.

Yes! You can use any single letter as your variable. Just enter the letter in the "Variable Name" field. Common choices include x, y, a, b, n, etc.

The step-by-step solution helps you understand how the equation is solved. It shows the original equation, the substitution of the found value, and verification that both sides are equal.

Some equations may have no solution (like 0x = 5) or infinite solutions (like 2x - 2x = 0). This solver will indicate when it cannot find a solution within its search range.

No, this solver is designed for linear equations only. For quadratic equations (like x² + 2x + 1 = 0) or higher-degree polynomials, you would need a more advanced solver.

The solver finds solutions accurate to two decimal places. It uses a numerical method to search for values that satisfy the equation within a tolerance of 0.001.
