About this generator
Solving equations is the heart of early algebra. This generator lets pupils practise the balance method with equations that always have a whole-number answer. At the easy level the tasks are one-step equations such as x + 7 = 15. At the medium level they become two-step equations like 3x + 5 = 26, where pupils first subtract and then divide. At the hard level x appears on both sides, for example 7x + 4 = 3x + 24, and negative solutions are included. Word problems turn equations into everyday situations: a taxi fare with a starting fee, a gym membership, a plumber’s bill, rows of chairs in a hall or a rectangle with a known perimeter. The answer key shows the solution with its unit, such as km, hours, chairs or the local currency, so pupils can check that their answer makes sense. Every equation is generated and checked by the website, and a new version gives new numbers instantly.

Plan a useful printable
Start with one clear learning goal and choose only the settings that support it. A short, focused sheet is often easier to explain, complete and review than a crowded page. The live preview makes it possible to check spacing, task count and difficulty before paper is used. Create another version when a class needs the same skill with different content.
Adapt it to the learner
Use fewer items, larger writing areas and familiar content for beginners. Increase the amount, range or complexity gradually for confident learners. Teachers can also combine the printable with oral instructions, pair work or a short follow-up discussion. Because every page is customizable, the same activity can support a warm-up, independent practice, homework or revision.
Print clearly and reuse
Choose A4 or US Letter to match the printer, then print at 100 percent whenever exact spacing matters. The PDF option uses the browser print dialog and creates a clean file for later use. Generated content is prepared in the browser, requires no pupil account and has no watermark. Review every sheet before sharing it, especially when you add your own words or text.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you solve a two-step equation?
- Undo addition or subtraction first, then undo multiplication or division. For 3x + 5 = 26: subtract 5 to get 3x = 21, then divide by 3 to get x = 7.
- Do all equations have whole-number solutions?
- Yes. The numbers are chosen so that every solution is an integer, which keeps the focus on the method.
- Do the equation word problems have units?
- Yes, answers show units such as km, h, cm or chairs where the situation needs them.
