<![CDATA[The average mathematics score of eighth-grade students at MTsN Samarinda is still low (62.80). Students have difficulty solving modified problems, lack attention to detail, and show anxiety such as hesitation, lack of confidence, and fear of answering. This study aims to describe students' mathematical problem-solving abilities based on their level of mathematical anxiety in linear equation material. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach with eighth-grade students at MTsN Samarinda as the subjects. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that students with high anxiety have varying abilities: some experience difficulties in all stages of problem solving, but some are able to meet three indicators in some questions and only one indicator in other questions. They show somatic, cognitive, and attitudinal symptoms. Students with moderate anxiety are only able to meet three problem-solving indicators, with dominant symptoms in cognition and attitude. Meanwhile, students with low anxiety also showed varying abilities: some were able to meet all indicators on some questions, but others did not complete the final stage (rechecking) due to overconfidence and time constraints. The anxiety symptoms that appeared at low levels were mild and did not interfere with the problem-solving process.]]>
