More details to this question:
This would be strictly educational, the numbers would be changed so that no one could cheat by simply copying the answer, but they would still be able to learn how to properly solve the problem. What issues could arise with providing such a service?

If your school identifies this activity as cheating, your scholastic record could be at risk. Schools have their own fiefdoms with broad power to discipline students according to their own codes of conduct.
The other concern would be copyright infringement. Some standardized achievement exam-makers have kept others from copying their exam questions for prep courses through copyright law. Copying and slightly modifying the problem could be copyright infringement.
Those are the issues that occur to me.
Good luck,
