Equation Solver
FreeSolve linear and quadratic equations step by step
Two real roots: x₁ = 2 x₂ = 1
About Equation Solver
An equation is only half-solved until you understand how you got there. This solver handles both linear equations and quadratics, but instead of just spitting out the answer, it walks through the steps so the method sticks. That makes it as useful for learning as it is for checking your final result.
Enter your equation and the tool solves it, showing the working stage by stage. It's free, runs in your browser, and needs no signup. For a quadratic you get the roots laid out clearly; for a linear equation you see how the variable is isolated. Either way, you finish with both the answer and the reasoning behind it.
Common uses

FAQ
What types of equations can it solve?
It handles linear equations and quadratic equations, showing the solution steps for each.
Does it show the steps or just the answer?
It walks through the working stage by stage, so you can follow the method rather than just copy the result.
What if a quadratic has no real solutions?
When the roots aren't real numbers, the solver indicates this rather than forcing an incorrect answer.
Can I use Equation Solver on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
