Multi-Step Equation Calculator

This tool solves multi-step linear equations and writes out every step. Type an equation in one variable called x, with brackets, fractions, like terms and x on either side, and it distributes, collects, moves the x terms together, moves the numbers across and divides, showing both sides at each stage. The arithmetic is carried as exact fractions the whole way, so an answer like 22/9 is reported as 22/9 with the decimal alongside rather than as a long string of digits. Equations whose x terms cancel are answered too, as either no solution or every number, with the step that produced it.
