What's The Best Free Site For Algebra Help?

Can someone please tell me of a good FREE site for my daughter to use when she's stumped on one of her Algebra homework problems? We're hoping to find a free site that will show how to solve the problems step by step rather than showing just the answer.

For example, here's one she's having trouble with right now.:

b^5+c^5/b+c=
We know the final answer is b^4-b^3c+b^2c^2-bc^3+c^4.
However, she's not sure really what steps they took to arrive at that final answer.
PS) Those little ^ signs are my way of typing to the whatever power. For example, b^4 means b to the 4th power, etc.

Any help showing how to solve this problem and/or information on a good free website that shows how to solve Algebra problems step by step would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    You have no idea how much I need this, too.

    So when someone answers, I'll be checking it out!

    Is there something on the other side of the = sign in the initial problem? What dies it equal?

    I believe that they are supposed to expand it.
