Three real problems, worked the way every answer is: numbered steps, the reason for each, and a check at the end.

Algebra

Algebra: a linear equation

Solve $5 (x - 2) = 3 x + 4$

Expand the bracket $5 x - 10 = 3 x + 4$
Collect the $x$ termsSubtract $3 x$ from both sides: $2 x - 10 = 4$
Isolate the x termAdd 10 to both sides: $2 x = 14$
Divide by 2 $x = 7$
Check $5 (7 - 2) = 25$ and $3 (7) + 4 = 25$ . Both sides match.

Final answer $x = 7$

Calculus

Calculus: the chain rule

Differentiate $f (x) = (2 x^{2} + 1)^{3}$

Spot the compositionAn outer function $u^{3}$ wraps an inner function $u = 2 x^{2} + 1$ , so use the chain rule.
Differentiate the outside $\frac{d}{d u} u^{3} = 3 u^{2} = 3 (2 x^{2} + 1)^{2}$
Differentiate the inside $\frac{d}{d x} (2 x^{2} + 1) = 4 x$
Multiply them $f^{'} (x) = 3 (2 x^{2} + 1)^{2} \cdot 4 x = 12 x (2 x^{2} + 1)^{2}$

Final answer $f^{'} (x) = 12 x (2 x^{2} + 1)^{2}$

Word problem

Word problem: a discount on a discount

A jacket is marked 20% off, and the sale price then gets a further 15% off at the till. You pay 102 dollars. What was the original price?

Name the unknownLet the original price be $p$ .
Apply the first discount20% off leaves $0.8 p$ .
Apply the second discount15% off the sale price leaves $0.85 \times 0.8 p = 0.68 p$ — a 32% total discount, not 35%.
Solve $0.68 p = 102$ , so $p = \frac{102}{0.68} = 150$ .
Check150 dollars less 20% is 120 dollars; 120 dollars less 15% is 102 dollars.

Final answer The jacket originally cost 150 dollars.

Math solver features

Step-by-step solutions

Each answer is split into short, numbered steps with the reasoning spelled out — which rule was applied, and why. Turn Steps off when you only want the final answer.

Follow-up questions

Ask "why did you divide by 3?" or "now differentiate that" and the solver answers with your earlier working in mind, like a tutor sitting next to you.

Graphing calculator

Plot up to four functions, zoom and pan, and read coordinates straight off the curve. Then ask the AI for the exact intercepts or intersections.

Real math notation

Fractions, roots, exponents, matrices and integrals are typeset properly instead of squeezed into plain text, so answers read like a textbook.

How the math solver works

Enter your problem
Type an equation or a word problem. Use ^ for powers and / for fractions — or just describe it in words.
2
Get a step-by-step solution
The AI works through the problem one step at a time and explains the method as it goes.
3
Ask follow-ups
Stuck on a step? Ask about it in the same chat and get an explanation that builds on what came before.

How to type math problems

Type problems the way you'd write them in a text message. If you're not sure, describe it in words — the solver understands both.

Math Solver GPT vs. ChatGPT for math

Math Solver GPT uses an AI language model, like ChatGPT does, so it understands problems written in everyday words. The difference is focus. Every question is treated as a math problem and answered in the same predictable shape: numbered steps, typeset notation and a clearly marked final answer.

Math that reads like math: fractions, roots and matrices are rendered properly, not as raw symbols.
Answer or full working: switch Steps off to see only the final answer, and back on to see how it was reached.
Nothing to set up: no account and no prompt-writing — type the problem as you'd write it on paper.
Tools to check the result: plot the function in the graphing calculator, or open a focused calculator page for the topic.

Who uses Math Solver GPT

Students

Check homework, find the exact step where your working went wrong, and revise for tests with worked examples on any topic.

Parents

Help with homework even when the method taught today isn't the one you learned — the steps show how it's done now.

Teachers and tutors

Produce worked examples in seconds, and ask for a second method when the first explanation doesn't land with a student.

Adult learners

Brush up for an entrance exam, a course or a job that needs math, at your own pace and without signing up for anything.

Using an AI math solver to learn

A solver is most useful when it's a second opinion, not a shortcut. Students who get the most out of it try the problem first, then compare their working with the solution line by line.

Attempt the problem yourself before you ask.
Read each step and ask "why?" about any you couldn't have written yourself.
Close the solution and redo the problem from memory.
Follow your teacher's rules about AI tools — submitting work you didn't do isn't learning, whatever tool produced it.

How accurate is the math solver?

It handles standard school and university coursework well, but like any AI it can make mistakes — and it's upfront about the kinds of problems where that's more likely.

Ambiguous input: 1/2x could mean $\frac{1}{2} x$ or $\frac{1}{2 x}$ . Brackets remove the doubt.
Problems that depend on a diagram it can't see. Describe the figure in words.
Very long proofs and multi-part questions. Ask one part at a time.

Checking is quick because the working is shown: substitute the answer back into the original equation, or plot it in the graphing calculator. If the AI service is ever unreachable, a simpler built-in engine answers basic equations instead, and the answer is clearly labelled.

About Math Solver GPT

Math Solver GPT is a free AI math solver built around one idea: the working matters more than the answer. Every solution shows its steps, every step is free, and there's no account to create.

Answers are generated by an AI math solver service. The explanations, worked examples and calculator guides across this site are written for students, and every worked example is checked by hand before it's published.

Frequently asked questions

What is Math Solver GPT?

A free AI math solver in a chat interface. You type a math problem and it replies with a worked, step-by-step solution in proper mathematical notation, then answers any follow-up questions about it.

Is the AI math solver really free?

Yes — including every step of the working. There's no sign-up, no account and no limit on how many steps you can see.

Does it show the steps or just the answer?

The full working, by default. Every solution is broken into numbered steps with the reasoning explained. If you only want the result, switch Steps off and each answer is trimmed to its final answer.

What kinds of math can it solve?

Arithmetic, algebra, equations and inequalities, factoring, fractions, functions and graphs, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms, calculus (derivatives, integrals and limits), matrices and determinants, and statistics — plus word problems in any of these areas.

Can it help with GCSE and A-level maths?

Yes. It covers the algebra, quadratics, simultaneous equations, trigonometry, calculus and statistics on GCSE and A-level maths courses, and works through past-paper style questions step by step.

How do I type math symbols?

Use ^ for exponents (x^2), / for fractions (3/4), sqrt() for square roots and * or a space for multiplication. The notation guide above covers the rest, or just write it in words, like "the square root of x plus 1".

Can I upload a photo of a problem?

Not yet. For now, type the problem or paste it as text — most problems take only a few seconds to enter with the notation guide above.

Is there a math solver app?

There's no app to install. The site works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

How accurate are the answers?

It handles standard coursework problems well, but like any AI it can make mistakes. Because every step is shown, the working is easy to check — and worth checking before an exam or anything important.

Is it better than ChatGPT for math?

It's more focused. It uses the same kind of AI language model, but every question is answered as a math problem, with numbered steps, typeset notation and a clearly marked final answer — and a graphing calculator to check the result.

Will my teacher know I used it?

Math Solver GPT doesn't report anything to schools. But it's built for learning, not copying: use it to check your working and understand methods, and follow your class's rules on AI tools.
