What it solves
Sentence to equation
The wording is translated term by term: each unknown gets a definition and every phrase is mapped to the part of the equation it produced.
Distance, rate & work
Travel problems, opposite and same-direction motion, combined work rates and pipes-filling-tanks questions with the rate table laid out.
Percent, discount & interest
Percent change, markup and markdown, tax and tip, simple and compound interest, each with the base quantity identified first.
Mixture & ratio
Coin and ticket problems, solution concentrations, alloys and proportional scaling, solved with a clear before-and-after comparison.
Geometry in words
Perimeter, area and volume problems described in sentences, including diagrams sketched out in text before the algebra starts.
Solve from a photo
Snap the textbook page or worksheet. The wording and any diagram labels are read straight off the image.
Worked examples
A train leaves at 60 mph, another at 80 mph 1 hour later. When does it catch up?
60(t + 1) = 80t → t = 3 hours after the second train leaves
How much 30% solution mixes with 5 L of 10% to get 20%?
0.30x + 0.10(5) = 0.20(x + 5) → x = 5 L
Ana is 3× Ben's age; in 8 years she is twice his age.
3b + 8 = 2(b + 8) → b = 8, Ana = 24
How it works
- 1
Paste the problem or photograph it
Type the sentence exactly as it is written, or attach a picture of the page from your phone camera.
- 2
See the setup, then the solution
Variables are defined first, the equation is built from the wording, and only then is it solved and checked.

Ask follow-up questions
Stay in the same conversation and ask why a phrase became that term until the translation makes sense.
Word problem solver FAQ
How does the word problem solver work?
It reads the sentence, names what each unknown stands for, translates the wording into an equation, solves it, and then checks the answer back against the original sentence so the result makes sense in context.
What kinds of word problems can it handle?
Distance-rate-time, work and rate, mixture and concentration, percent and discount, interest, ratio and proportion, age problems, number puzzles, consecutive integers, and geometry problems described in words.
Does it explain how to set up the equation?
Yes — that setup is the part most students get stuck on, so it states the variable definitions and shows which phrase in the problem produced each term of the equation.
Can I upload a photo of the word problem?
Yes. Attach a photo or screenshot of the textbook page or worksheet and the solver reads the wording and any diagram values from the image.
Is the word problem solver free?
You get 2 free answers when you create an account. Pro is $9.99 per month for unlimited step-by-step solutions.
Stuck on the setup?
Open the solver, paste the sentence, and watch the wording turn into an equation you can follow.
