Equation & Expression Solver helps middle and high school students solve and simplify algebra — and actually understand it, by showing every step along the way. Type an equation or expression on the built-in math keypad — variables, fractions, exponents, and parentheses included — then tap Solve or Simplify. You get the answer AND the worked steps that lead to it, the way a teacher would write them on the board. What it does • Solves linear and simple polynomial equations • Gives square-root answers in exact, simplified form — x² = 20 is ±2√5 — with the decimal approximation on the line below, so you get the form to hand in and the number to sanity-check it against • Simplifies expressions, combines like terms, and distributes • Adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides fractions — even with variables • Factors differences of squares, sums and differences of cubes, and trinomials • Shows the work, step by step, with a clear caption for each move Built for learning • A custom keypad made for math — no fighting the keyboard • Clean, readable notation for fractions, exponents, and roots • Honest answers: when a problem is beyond it, it says so rather than guessing No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Just you and the math.
