1. What Is Equation Solving?

Equation solving is the process of finding the values of variables that satisfy a given mathematical equation. In this calculator, we focus on solving for x in linear equations.

2. How the Calculator Works

The calculator solves linear equations of the form:

Where:

• \( a \) — Coefficient of x
• \( b \) — Constant term
• \( c \) — Right-hand side constant

Solution: The solution is found using algebraic manipulation: \[ x = \frac{c - b}{a} \]

3. Importance of Solving Equations

Details: Solving equations is fundamental in mathematics and has applications in physics, engineering, economics, and many other fields. It helps in finding unknown values in relationships between quantities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your equation in the format like "2x+5=15" or "3x-7=20". The calculator will solve for x and display the solution.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of equations can this calculator solve?
A: Currently it solves basic linear equations of the form ax + b = c.

Q2: Can it solve quadratic equations?
A: No, this version only handles linear equations. A quadratic equation solver would be a different calculator.

Q3: What if I get an error message?
A: Make sure your equation follows the correct format with no spaces, like "3x+5=20".

Q4: Can it handle equations with fractions?
A: Not in this version. Enter equations with whole numbers or decimals.

Q5: How precise are the solutions?
A: Solutions are displayed with up to 4 decimal places for accuracy.
