Linear Equation Solver
Solve equations of the form ax + b = c step by step, seeing each move — subtract, divide, isolate x — worked out separately. It is a handy way to check homework, revise algebra and understand the method, not just the answer.
How to use
- Enter the numbers for a, b and c in the equation ax + b = c.
- Watch the working update live as you type: the subtraction and division are shown separately.
- Read the value of x, then check the verification line, which puts the answer back into the original equation.
Tips
- Double-check that a is not zero: if a = 0 the equation is either always true or impossible, and the tool explains that case.
- The verification line is your check — if plugging x back in balances both sides, the answer is right.
- For equations with fractions, you can enter decimal equivalents directly.
Note: If a = 0, the equation is either true for every x (b = c) or never true — the tool explains this case separately.
