Question 1

What kinds of algebra problems does it solve?

Accepted Answer

Linear equations and inequalities, factoring, quadratics by factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula, systems of equations, rational and radical equations, exponents and logarithms, functions and transformations, and sequences.

Question 2

Can it solve word problems, not just equations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and word problems are where it earns its keep. The solution starts by defining the variables, translates each sentence into an equation, solves, then answers the question that was actually asked, in a sentence, with units.

Question 3

Does it show every algebra step or jump to the answer?

Accepted Answer

Every step is written out, including the ones a textbook skips: distributing, combining like terms, and what was done to both sides. The line-by-line detail is the reason the page is worth turning in or studying from.

Question 4

Can I check an algebra answer I already worked out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Generate the solution and compare it against yours, or use grader mode to have your own attempt marked with red ink so you can see the exact step where things went wrong.

Question 5

Does it graph lines, parabolas, and systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Graphs are drawn by hand on graph paper if you choose that paper style, with intercepts, vertex, and intersection points labeled the way you would label them yourself.

Question 6

Is the algebra solver free to use?

Accepted Answer

Three handwritten generations per month are free and reset monthly. Explanations and practice problems are unlimited on every plan. Paid plans are the $2.99 Weekly Pass, or Starter at $7, Standard at $25, and Pro at $45 a month.
