Input Data

A
B

Results

Solution x.
3
Explanatory note about the result.
x = −b/a = −(-6)/2 = 3

At a glance:Solve a·x + b = 0 → x = −b/a. Complements inequality and system-2x2.

Formula

x = −b / a.

How to Use

  1. Enter a and b.
  2. The tool returns x.

Case Studies

2x + 4 = 0

x = −2.

FAQ
