Type in Algebra Problem Get Answer
Are there any websites out there that will let you type in an algebra problem and get an answer? The short answer is no, there isn’t. There are a few sites that have so called “solvers”. These you will mostly find unsatisfactory as they will “solve” problems that you can already do and do them fast with your own calculator. What you will find are forums and some simple calculators.
For those of you who have a bit more time and patience, the forum route is a good one to take. Algebra.com has a number of wonderful math tutors who will solve your problems few of charge provide you post it in the right spot. The solutions and explanations I’ve seen there are correct and very helpful.
For the do-it-yourselfer, you can get some answers to your algebra problem using some online calculators. These can be a bit more finicky and do require that you have somewhat of an idea of what is going on. One drawback here is that there is no additional human interaction. The software which implements the calculator probably will do a decent enough job but there are no guarantees. Most of the calculators you will find are for simplifying polynomial expressions and solving linear and/or quadratic equations. If you want to solve radical equations, logarithm equations or rational equations you’re probably going to be out of luck. One of the more interesting and slightly more advanced online algebra calculator that I’ve seen recently is the radical expressions calculator. It’s capable of solving most roots and does so in a step by step process.

A good option is Wolfram Alpha.
Check some examples in the Algebra section, for instance, but here there is a long list of awesome examples showing what is it capable of:
