INSTRUCTIONS: Enter four numbers, in the white input boxes below, and the software will generate 12 algebra problems, for you to solve. Do NOT enter numbers that are more than four digits. If you want to keep the arithmetic simple, enter one or two digit numbers. After entering numbers, scroll down and solve each algebraic equation with pencil and paper. You can use a calculator for the arithmetic.

(Note: There is a pink box, on the bottom of each problem, with the letter N. To see the result calculated by the software, delete the N, and left click on the yellow background.)

The Random Number Generator:You do not have to use the Random Number Generator. It is an optional feature, that generates four random numbers, which you can MANUALLY enter into the white input boxes. Note, if the random numbers are not entered manually, they are NOT used in the calculations.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR: The Random Number Generator can be set with a pull-down menu, to generate random numbers, with ONE DIGIT, with TWO DIGITS OR LESS, with THREE DIGITS OR LESS and with FOUR DIGITS OR LESS. To access the pull-down menu, for these settings, left click on the small red box below, and a menu will open. (With the spreadsheet versions, it may be necessary to left click once on the red box, and again on a silver or gray tab to open the menu.) The menu that opens will have the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. These numbers correspond to the capitalized words above in red type. Left click on the number you want, and the menu will close, and four random numbers will be displayed, based on the settings you selected, in the blue box below. (The random numbers displayed in the blue box, constantly change, whenever numbers or letters are entered or deleted in this software, but they will always be based on the settings you selected.)

If you want to use a random numbers, you must manually enter them in the four white input boxes of the Basic Algebraic Equation Generator. When you enter one of the random numbers in a white input box, and left click with the mouse, all the random numbers in the blue box will change. Keep in mind that you do not have to use the Random Number Generator. You can enter any four numbers you choose in the white input boxes of the Basic Algebraic Equation Generator.

Important Note about Problems 10, 11 and 12

If any of the following three problems result in a quadratic equation that you cannot easily factor, use the quadratic formula, and calculate the first. If the discriminant is negative there are no solutions based on real numbers.
