How to solve linear equations with one unknown in php?

Question

PHP

Hello! I am making a math bot and decided to add an equation solving function to it. I started with linear equations with one unknown (example: 23-x+58/2=8+x*3). However, the whole Internet break, I did not find a single clue on how to do this - basically there are materials about solving quadratic equations. Although there are many sites with automatic solution of equations. Tell me how to implement it?

Answer 1

When I did something like this, I used an algebra textbook and studied formulas, then I transferred these formulas to PHP (not stupidly copy-paste) and everything worked. Only then I realized that I didn’t need it)) There were a lot of regular expressions and cycles in complex equations, many users would strain the server, I think. Moreover, there are a lot of similar servers, I don’t think that it would be in demand.
But it's up to you, use regular expressions and formulas
