This tutorial explains how to solve a variety of equations, from simple to complex, and gives examples and solutions. Students are asked to solve for x before looking at a solution.

Students will solve equations for the values of x.

Click on the 'Give me a problem!' button for an equation. Solve for x in the equation using pencil and paper, then check the answer. This is an example equation: 10x - 486.6 = -9. The solution is given as a fraction.

This WebMath site explains how to enter your equation with one variable and solve for that variable. It explains step-by-step how to solve the equations and gives the final solutions.

Solve linear equations for the x-intercept and y-intercept. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice solving equations that take two steps to solve. For example, solve -16 = x/4 + 2. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Solve systems of equations with multi-step elimination (e.g., a manipulation is needed in order for x-values and y-values to cancel each other out). Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions...

In this exercise, students practice finding intercepts from a linear equation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Solve for x using the quadratic formula and complete practice problems. Assess learning with a quiz.

Use your knowledge of logarithmic properties in order to solve "exponential equations where x is in the exponent, but the bases do not match." This tutorial offers simple examples and practice exercises for you to complete and check.

Solve systems of equation with multi-step elimination (e.g., a manipulation is needed in order for x-values or y-values to cancel each other out).

Demonstrates step-by-step, with illustrations, how to solve linear equations. Also explains the formatting and reasoning for 'no solution' and 'all x' equations. Includes interactive tool for practice solving linear equations.

Use this tutorial to learn how Cramer's Rule works for 3 x 3.

Follow step by step instruction to solve for x and y-intercepts, plot points, and graph the linear function.

How is algebra like solving a puzzle? What is a variable? This simple introduction to algebraic equations offers examples of how to solve for "x" and how to balance equations. Follow a link to a "Simple Algebra Worksheet" when you're...

Solve simple linear equations using a balance beam. Replicate the given equation by moving the blocks of X and 1 to the sides of the balance scale. Then use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to each side to solve for x.

This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be...

This MathWorld site shows how to derive the quadratic formula.

The learning resource investigates the quadratic formula. Students learn how the formula is derived by completing the square and solving for x.

This presentation of the quadratic equation includes a discussion on the discriminant and a derivation of the quadratic formula.

Solve quadratic equations of the form (x+a)squared-b=0. These can be solved using square roots. For example, solve (x-5)squared-4=0. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video...

A downloadable worksheet that allows students to practice solving equations by using the "relation machine." Solve for y and determine if the relation is a function for the x value.

Students will determine if a quadratic formula is factorable, then they will factor the equation, set each factor equal to 0, and solve for x.

This page gives a brief explanation of the Laplace limit, the value of "e" "for which Laplace's formula for solving Kepler's equation begins diverging."
