You can put this solution on YOUR website! The way algebra.com works is, tutors see a long list of questions (up to 400, 50 by default) posted by users. They will usually answer questions to their liking (e.g. algebra questions, calculus questions, easy/hard questions) or whichever they can answer right away, but it all depends. They have to locate your question and answer it. Since questions are uploaded at a faster rate than tutors can solve it, some questions will go unnoticed.
Best advice would be to repost the question. The site is completely free to use; you can hire certain tutors but that's up to you and them. However, make sure that a tutor can be willing to answer your question. If your question violates the guidelines for posting (e.g. too many questions in one post, too long, ambiguous, poor grammar, etc.), tutors may reply with a negative response, or simply gloss over the question.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sometimes the questions make no sense, such as
"What is 2x + 3 = x +7?"
I might answer that it's an equation. You should say "Solve for x"
-----
Sometimes they're ambiguous, such as
2/x + 7 - 4/x - 6 = 9
Is the denominator x? Or x+7 ?
-----
Then there's 2^x+3 = 6
Is the exponent x ? Or x+3 ?
-----
1/2x + 3 = 7
Is it (1/2)x ? Or 1/(2x) ? Or 1/(2x+3) ?
------------
You can post them like that all day long, I'll ignore them.
