Algebra AI Solver with Step-by-Step Solutions

x² − 5x + 6 = 0

1. Recognize a quadratic in standard form ax² + bx + c = 0 with a = 1, b = −5, c = 6.
2. Look for two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to −5: −2 and −3.
3. Factor: (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0.
4. Apply the zero-product property: x − 2 = 0 or x − 3 = 0.
5. Solutions: x = 2 and x = 3. Check: 2² − 5(2) + 6 = 0 ✓

3x + 7 = 22

1. Isolate the variable term by subtracting 7 from both sides: 3x = 15.
2. Divide both sides by 3: x = 5.
3. Check: 3(5) + 7 = 22 ✓

x + y = 10 and x − y = 4

1. Add the two equations to eliminate y: 2x = 14.
2. Solve for x: x = 7.
3. Substitute back into x + y = 10: 7 + y = 10, so y = 3.
4. Solution: (x, y) = (7, 3). Check both equations ✓

Can Inquira solve algebra problems step by step?

Yes. Every algebra problem is broken into labeled steps — isolate the variable, factor, apply the quadratic formula, check the solution — so you learn the method instead of copying an answer.

What kinds of algebra can the AI solver handle?

Linear equations and inequalities, quadratics (factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula), systems of equations (substitution, elimination, matrices), polynomials, rational and radical expressions, exponents and logarithms, absolute value, and word problems.

Can I take a photo of a handwritten algebra problem?

Yes. Snap a photo, crop and rotate it, and Inquira's OCR extracts the equation — including handwritten notation — before solving. You can edit the extracted text before it is solved.

Does it show how to check the answer?

Yes. Solutions end with a verification step that substitutes the result back into the original equation, and you can ask follow-up questions on any individual step.

Is the algebra solver free?

Free accounts get 3 problem scans per day. Inquira Pro removes the daily limit and unlocks voice explanations and practice mode for $9.99/month, or $99.99/year.
