CVP verified calculation capability
Solve ax + b = rhs, ax + b ○ rhs, |ax + b| = rhs, |ax + b| ○ rhs, (ax + b)/(cx + d) = rhs, or (ax + b)/(cx + d) ○ rhs. a = 0 is identity/inconsistent or ℝ/∅.

Solution
x = (rhs − b) / aa = 0 and b = rhs → every xa = 0 and b ≠ rhs → no solutionModes: solve · inequality · abs · abs inequality · rational · rational inequality

Assumptions
One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.
a=2 b=3 rhs=11 → x=4
CVP VERIFIED · CVP protocol 1.0.0-proposed · Core assurance · all published modes. Computational verification is defined by CVP. Supplemental domain review (internal) and named expert review are defined by the Review policy and do not by themselves determine CVP conformance.
Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version.
Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json
and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 6/6.
