Solves equations such as 2x + 3 = 11. Quadratic and higher terms are rejected and pointed to the quadratic tool.

About this tool

Type a linear equation in x, for example 5(x − 2) = 3x + 4, and the solver returns the value of x. Equations with x² or higher powers are pointed to the quadratic solver.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Type the equation with x as the unknown.

  2. 02

    Use + − × / and brackets as needed.

  3. 03

    Read the value of x below the field.
