How to use the math solver
Three steps, no learning curve. If you can type it in a text message, MathSolverr can read it.
Type your problem
Write it the way you see it: 2x + 3 = 11, x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 or derivative of x^3. Use the math keyboard for √, π, powers and trig functions.
Pick a type (optional)
Leave it on Math Solver and it detects the problem type, or choose Equation, Factor, Derivative, Integral, Limit, Graph or Percent for full control.
Read the steps
Press Solve or Enter. You get the final answer, every step with a short reason, a graph when it helps, and a check of the result.
See why, not just what.
Every answer comes with the working a teacher expects: the rule that was used, what happens to both sides of the equation and the result in exact and decimal form.
- Linear and quadratic equations solved line by line
- Discriminant, quadratic formula and factoring shown together
- Every solution checked by substituting it back
Picture the answer.
Equations, functions, derivatives and integrals are drawn automatically. Roots are marked on the curve, definite integrals shade the area, and you can drag or zoom the graph.
- Plot several functions at once:
sin(x), cos(x) - Compare a function with its derivative
- Drag to pan, scroll or tap +/− to zoom
Math keyboard and live preview.
Tap √, π, x², sin, ln or |x| instead of hunting for symbols. A live preview renders your input as real math notation before you solve, so typing mistakes are easy to spot.
- Press Enter to solve instantly
- One-tap examples for every problem type
- Copy the answer with a single click

How do you solve 2x + 3 = 11?
Answer: x = 4- Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x = 8.
- Divide both sides by 2: x = 4.
- Check: 2(4) + 3 = 11 ✓
How do you solve x² − 5x + 6 = 0?
Answer: x = 2 or x = 3- Identify a = 1, b = −5, c = 6.
- Discriminant: Δ = 25 − 24 = 1, so there are two real roots.
- Factor: (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0.
- Set each factor to zero: x = 2 or x = 3.
What is the derivative of x³ sin(x)?
Answer: 3x² sin(x) + x³ cos(x)- The function is a product, so use the product rule (uv)′ = u′v + uv′.
- u = x³ gives u′ = 3x²; v = sin x gives v′ = cos x.
- Combine: 3x² sin(x) + x³ cos(x).
What is 15% of 240?
Answer: 36- Convert the percentage to a decimal: 15% = 0.15.
- Multiply: 0.15 × 240 = 36.
Math solver vs. basic calculator
A calculator gives a number. A step-by-step math solver shows how to get there — and works with letters, not only numbers.

Math solver FAQs
What is a math solver?
A math solver is an online tool that reads a math problem — an equation, expression, derivative, integral or percentage question — and returns the answer together with the steps used to reach it. MathSolverr is a free math solver that works in your browser.
Is MathSolverr free?
Yes. Every tool on MathSolverr is free to use with no account, no daily limit and no paywall on the step-by-step solutions.
What kind of math problems can it solve?
It solves linear, quadratic and polynomial equations, systems of equations, inequalities, factoring, expanding and simplifying, fractions and arithmetic, percentages, derivatives, integrals (indefinite and definite), limits, and it graphs functions.
Does the math solver show steps?
Yes. Each answer comes with numbered steps, a short explanation of the rule used in each step and, for equations, a check that substitutes the answer back into the original problem.
How accurate is the math solver?
Answers are calculated with symbolic math libraries, so exact results such as fractions and square roots are kept exact. Equations without a closed-form answer are solved numerically to six decimal places, and the solver tells you when an answer is approximate.
Can it solve word problems or photos of math?
Not yet. Today you type the problem in the input box. For a word problem, write the equation it describes — for example “a number plus 7 is 19” becomes x + 7 = 19.
Is my data saved?
No. The math solver runs entirely in your browser. The problems you type are not sent to or stored on our server.
Can teachers tell if I used a math solver?
Copying answers without understanding usually shows up on tests. The best way to use a math solver is to attempt the problem yourself, then use the step-by-step solution to check and learn from any mistakes.
