How to use
(x+1)^3) or equation (e.g., (x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1).
Tip: Try (x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1, (x^3-1)/(x-1), or d/dx (3x^3+4x).
Quick Examples
GCSE Algebra
(x + 1)^2 5x + 3 = 18 (x^2 – 9) ÷ (x – 3)
A-Level Calculus
d/dx (3x^3 + 4x) ∫ (2x – 1) dx d/dx (sin x)
What this Maths Working Calculator does
This tool shows the steps to solve algebraic expressions and equations. Instead of giving only the answer, it breaks problems down into clear, exam-style working so you can learn the method.
- Simplify expressions
- Expand brackets
- Factorise quadratics
- Solve linear & polynomial equations
- Differentiation
- Integration
Great for GCSE maths revision, A-Level preparation, university support, parents helping at home, and adult learners.
Why seeing the working matters
Fast answers are useful, but real progress comes from understanding how each step works. By seeing every stage, you build problem-solving skills and confidence that transfers directly into exams.
Common expressions to try
