This is a pretty complete site - and there's something really cool - an automated equation calculator. The website says that the current release of this Equation Calculator has solved over six million equations!

This is one of the best sites. It's created by people who really love algebra (who ARE these people??). Don't click on any advertising links - just stick to the center area, find the type of problem you're working on, and you'll be able to see lessons, example problems, and more. It's great.
