A worked algebra example — factoring a quadratic
Below is one fully worked example plus a short primer so you can see exactly how our AI reasons through a problem.
Example Problem
DEMOx^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
- 1
Identify the form
This is a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. Here a = 1, b = −5, c = 6.
- 2
Find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b
Need product = 6 and sum = −5. Try −2 × −3 = 6 ✓ and −2 + (−3) = −5 ✓.
- 3
Factorise
- 4
Apply the zero-product property
- 5
Verify
x = 2: 4 − 10 + 6 = 0 ✓. x = 3: 9 − 15 + 6 = 0 ✓.
Final Answer
How to solve algebra problems — a primer for Class 9 to 12
Algebra uses letters (variables) to represent unknown numbers — instead of asking 'what number plus 5 equals 13?', you write x + 5 = 13. It's the foundation of every higher maths topic and is tested heavily in CBSE Class 10 and 12, ICSE, JEE Main, NEET and SAT. The core skill never changes: do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is alone. Three formulas unlock most school algebra: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b), and the quadratic formula x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a. Learn those cold and you'll handle roughly 70% of Class 9 to 12 algebra questions on sight — and you can paste any harder problem into the AI solver above for a full step-by-step walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions
How do I solve an algebra problem step by step?+
Identify the variable, apply inverse operations to isolate it, simplify both sides, then verify by substituting the answer back. The solver shows every step so you learn the reasoning, not just the answer.
Is the algebra solver free to use?+
There's a free plan. Guests can try 1 solve per day without signup. A free account adds 5 daily solves plus quizzes, flashcards and the study planner. Premium unlocks higher daily limits — step-by-step working is never paywalled.
Does it work for CBSE and ICSE syllabus?+
Yes. It covers Class 6–12 for CBSE and ICSE, plus JEE Main, NEET and SAT. Linear equations, quadratics, polynomials, inequalities and identities — all of the board syllabus.
What types of algebra problems does the solver handle?+
Linear, quadratic and simultaneous equations, polynomials, algebraic identities, inequalities, word problems, and JEE-level topics like quadratic inequalities and logarithms.
How is SolveGini different from Mathway?+
Mathway requires a paid subscription to unlock step-by-step working. SolveGini includes every step on the free plan and bundles quizzes, flashcards and a study planner for board and entrance-exam students in one place.
Can I use this for JEE algebra preparation?+
Yes. It handles JEE Main and Advanced difficulty — quadratic inequalities, progressions, logarithms and complex-number algebra — with step-by-step working you can study from.
Does this algebra solver work for Classes 10, 11 and 12?+
Yes — coverage runs from Class 6 to Class 12 for CBSE, ICSE and state-board students on the free plan. Class 10 covers linear and quadratic equations, polynomials and factorisation; Class 11 and 12 add complex numbers, matrices, determinants, sequences and series — all worked step by step.
Why choose this over other AI maths solver apps?+
Three things students usually mention: every step is shown on the free plan (most competitors paywall the steps), the solver is tuned for CBSE, ICSE and JEE material rather than US-only curricula, and it pairs with quizzes, flashcards and a study planner in one login. Guests can try one solve per day without signup; a free account adds more.
How do I solve algebra word problems using AI?+
Type the word problem exactly as written in your textbook, or take a photo of the page. The AI reads the problem, picks out the variables, translates the English sentences into equations, solves them, and then explains the answer back in plain English — so you see the full reasoning, not just the number.
