Algebra Calculator
The Algebra Calculator calculates exact, real-time domain outputs in active voice. The Algebra Calculator solves systems of two linear equations in two unknowns (x and y) using Cramer's determinant rule, displaying the main determinant Δ, sub-determinants Δx and Δy, exact intersection coordinates (x, y), and single-variable linear reductions.

Algebra Calculator Mathematical Formula
\Delta = a_1 b_2 - a_2 b_1, \quad x = \frac{c_1 b_2 - c_2 b_1}{\Delta}, \quad y = \frac{a_1 c_2 - a_2 c_1}{\Delta}Algebra Calculator Worked Example
Solving the simultaneous system: 2x + 3y = 13 and 5x - y = 7.
- System Determinant Δ = (2)(-1) - (5)(3) = -2 - 15 = -17.
- Δx = (13)(-1) - (7)(3) = -13 - 21 = -34 -> x = -34 / -17 = 2.
- Δy = (2)(7) - (5)(13) = 14 - 65 = -51 -> y = -51 / -17 = 3.
The two lines intersect uniquely at the coordinate point (x = 2, y = 3). Substituting back confirms 2(2) + 3(3) = 13 and 5(2) - 3 = 7.

Algebra Calculator Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens when the determinant Δ equals zero?
When Δ = 0, the two lines have identical slopes. If Δx = 0 and Δy = 0, the lines are coincident (infinitely many solutions); otherwise, the lines are parallel and never intersect (no solution).
