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.

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.

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 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...

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.

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."
