Solve linear systems up to 6x6 with Gaussian elimination steps, Cramer's rule and exact fractions, plus nonlinear systems shown on a graph.

Equations
One equation per line, up to 6 unknowns. Decimals and fractions stay exact; two nonlinear equations in x and y are solved numerically.

Matrix form

Graph

Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, hover or tap a curve to trace it, click a gray point to pin its coordinates.

Step-by-step solution

Linear systems are solved with exact fractions, so no rounding creeps in. Gaussian elimination works for any system; Cramer's rule needs a square system with a non-zero determinant.

About System of Equations Solver

The system of equations solver handles linear systems from 2 to 6 unknowns, typed as equations or entered as a coefficient grid. Fractions and decimals are kept exact, so the solution comes out as clean fractions with no rounding.

Gaussian elimination (Gauss-Jordan) is shown row operation by row operation with the augmented matrix after each step, and Cramer's rule is available for square systems with a non-zero determinant. The matrix form A x = b is displayed too.

The solver tells you whether there is one solution, none, or infinitely many, and writes the general solution with parameters. Two nonlinear equations in x and y are solved numerically and shown as curve intersections on the graph.

How to use System of Equations Solver

  1. Type one equation per line, such as 2x + 3y = 8, or switch to the coefficient grid.
  2. Choose Gaussian elimination or Cramer's rule.
  3. Read the solution and its type: one solution, no solution or infinitely many.
  4. Open the steps to follow each row operation or each determinant.
  5. For two unknowns, look at the graph to see the lines or curves meet.

Frequently asked questions

Linear systems with up to 6 unknowns, including systems with more or fewer equations than unknowns. Nonlinear systems are solved for 2 equations in x and y.

At least one unknown is free. The solver names the free unknowns t, s and so on, and writes every other unknown in terms of them.

Only for a square system whose determinant is not zero. Otherwise the tool explains why and falls back to Gaussian elimination.

No. Linear systems use exact rational arithmetic, so 1/3 stays 1/3. A decimal approximation is shown next to fractions for convenience.

With Newton's method started from many points, keeping every distinct solution found. Exact values are shown when they satisfy both equations exactly.
