Hi Folks,

A few of us at college are having trouble with algebra, and have all
got different answers for sections of our last home study section.  I
just wondered if there was something out there in open source land
which will resolve equations like this: 5a(3b+2a)-a(2a+3c) solving
them as best as can be done.  That way we can all check our work as
some of us are obviously going wrong somewhere.

It doesn't have to give workings - we just need to do some checks as
we all have to work out where we're going wrong for ourselves really.

Cheers,

Tel.
