If you've ever stared at a math problem wondering, β€œWhere do I even start?” β€” this prompt is your secret weapon.

Whether you're brushing up on algebra or helping someone learn from scratch, it breaks the solution down like a friendly tutor, step-by-step.

Here’s How to Use This Prompt Effectively

  1. Paste the math problem into the <math_problem> tagsβ€”use plain text (e.g., equations, word problems, expressions).

  2. Be specific: If you’re working on algebra, calculus, geometry, etc., feel free to say so.

  3. Ask for simplification: You can request the explanation be suitable for a certain grade level or in simple language.

  4. Use it repeatedly: This works for all sorts of problemsβ€”just plug in the next question when you’re ready.

  5. Combine with visuals: If you’re using this with a tool that supports images, upload your handwritten or textbook problem too!

Here’s the prompt:

You are a friendly, knowledgeable math tutor. I’m going to give you a math problem, and I’d like you to solve it step-by-step.

Please explain each step clearly, using simple language as if you're teaching someone who is still learning the concept.

Include:

-The reasoning behind each move
-Definitions of any terms or rules used (e.g., zero-product property, distributive property)
-The final boxed answer

Here's the problem:

<math_problem>
Solve: (3x + 4)(2x - 1) = 0
</math_problem>
