What isolation is doing

Isolating a variable means rewriting the same equation so the chosen symbol appears by itself on one side.

For linear equations, that usually means gathering the variable terms together, moving constants to the other side, and dividing by the remaining coefficient.

The tool keeps those algebra steps visible so you can check the rearrangement instead of only trusting the final line.

Best input style

  • Use explicit multiplication like 2x2*x when needed.
  • Keep the equation linear in the target variable for this tool.
  • Examples: 2x+3y=102x + 3y = 10, v/t=av/t = a, P=2l+2wP = 2l + 2w.
