Solve algebraic equations with step-by-step guidance
2x + 5 = 13
x² - 5x + 6 = 0
3x + 2 = x - 4
2x + 3y = 7
4x - 2y = 2
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0
√(x + 1) = 3
Solves equations using factoring, quadratic formula, completing the square, and numerical methods
Detailed solution steps showing every mathematical operation
Automatically checks solutions by substitution
Graphs equations to visualize solutions
Always perform operations in the correct order: PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)
Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other side to maintain balance
Always substitute your solution back into the original equation to verify it works
Watch for sign errors, distribution mistakes, and incorrect order of operations
