Equation Solver

Solves linear, quadratic, cubic, and systems of equations with step-by-step working shown.

Solving equations by hand takes time and a single mistake can throw everything off. This solver handles linear (ax + b = 0), quadratic (ax² + bx + c = 0), cubic (ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0), and systems of two linear equations — and it shows every step of the work. For quadratics it displays the discriminant and both real roots; for cubics it attempts to find one real root and factor the rest; for systems it uses elimination to find the intersection point. All computation runs client-side using standard algebraic methods.

Math Concepts Explained

Understanding the math behind each equation type helps you interpret the results and learn the concepts. Here are the key ideas for each solver mode.

Linear Equations

A linear equation has the form ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable. The solution is found by isolating x: subtract b from both sides, then divide by a. Linear equations graph as straight lines on a coordinate plane, and the solution is the x-intercept where the line crosses the x-axis.

Quadratic Equations

A quadratic equation has the form ax² + bx + c = 0. The discriminant (b² - 4ac) determines the number and type of roots: positive means two real roots, zero means one repeated root, and negative means two complex conjugate roots. The vertex form reveals the parabola's maximum or minimum point.

Systems of Equations

A system of two linear equations in two variables (x and y) can be solved using substitution, elimination, or Cramer's rule. The solution is the point where the two lines intersect. If the lines are parallel, there is no solution; if they are the same line, there are infinitely many solutions.

Cubic Equations

A cubic equation has the form ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0. Cubic equations can have one real root and two complex roots, or three real roots (which may include repeated roots). The solver uses rational root testing and polynomial factoring to find solutions. Complex roots from the quadratic factor are expressed in a ± bi form.
