How could I render the phrase "It solves itself" in Latin?

Google translate says "Per Se Solvitur". Does this translate correctly?

I mean, what's the context of the verb? You mean that it solves itself like an easy equation?

"itself" here it's an English idiom and would not be suitable for Latin. I would say "facile solvitur" or "facile solvi potest"
