Understand the method, then try it yourself

Work through equations, inequalities, factoring, and systems with explanations of the operations on each side. Keep minus signs and parentheses visible in your photo. Type powers as x^2 and tell the solver whether you need exact answers or decimal approximations.

Worked example

Solve 3(2x − 4) = 18.

  1. Distribute 3 across the parentheses: 6x − 12 = 18.
  2. Add 12 to both sides to keep the equation balanced: 6x = 30.
  3. Divide both sides by 6: x = 5. Substitute into the original equation: 3(10 − 4) = 18.

Tips for a useful explanation

  • Do the same operation to both sides of an equation.
  • Reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
  • Substitute your result into the original expression, not just the simplified one.

Read the worked steps, check the result against the original question, and explain the method in your own words. If a step is unclear, include your attempt and ask about that step. AI can make mistakes; verify the reasoning and use the assistance your teacher permits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I check an equation without repeating every step?

Yes. Substitute the proposed value for the variable and compare the left and right sides. Matching values provide a useful check.

Can I upload a photo or type a question?

Yes. Use a clear, well-lit photo with the whole question visible, or type the prompt. Include any diagram, units, and instructions needed to interpret it.
