Equation and Inequality Solver

Solve ax+b=0, ax²+bx+c=0, a linear inequality, or a 2×2 linear system.

Your inputs

Real coefficients and real roots only. Inequality supports ≤ only. Systems are 2×2 with unique well-conditioned solution; Determinants smaller than 1e−12 times the squared largest matrix coefficient are rejected. Numerical roots may have rounding error.

How to use this calculator

Pick a bounded equation type. For a system, enter its six coefficients.

Formula and method

Quadratic roots: (−b±√(b²−4ac))/(2a). Two-variable systems use Cramer’s rule for nonzero determinant.

Worked example

x²−3x+2=0 has roots 1 and 2.

Assumptions and supported scope

Real coefficients and real roots only. Inequality supports ≤ only. Systems are 2×2 with unique well-conditioned solution; Determinants smaller than 1e−12 times the squared largest matrix coefficient are rejected. Numerical roots may have rounding error.
