Say you have x + 3 = 5. You can drag the 3 to the other side of the equation.
Enjoy the wonderful conceptual leaps of algebra, without getting bogged down by the tedium of traditional methods.
Drag to rearrange, tap to simplify, and draw lines to eliminate identical terms.
Distribute by sliding terms across the sum, and Factor them back out by dragging them together.

Customer Reviews
Great Algebra Review App!
This is an awesome app to review algebra. It would be even better if they added more advanced algebra problems and tutorials.
Too basic
As a review of the essentials, this was ok. The interface alone was worth two stars. But it's way too basic to be called a review of algebra as a whole. I went through it in under an hour and expected much more.
Best algebra I have found
This is a very easy and fun way to learn or review algebra. It is basic but if you learn the basics it is much easier to move forward in a strong manner. This was broken down in a way that was very easy to understand. I can't say that for the other apps I have tried. Worth the 1.99
