Introduction
Whats the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of algebra? In the past, you may have seen story problems with Train A traveling at 60 mph and Train B at 40 mph, with a question that asks whether Train A or Train B will arrive first. Solving these types of problems may make algebra seem tedious and downright irrelevant. Were not going to kid youthere are some problems like that in this book. They have to be included to prepare you for what youll face on tests and in school.

Algebra is a standard course in every high school math curriculum. You have to learn it to move on to more advanced courses like geometry and trig. Most standardized tests include algebra problems too, so knowing this subject is a must for scoring well on the GED, ACT, or SAT*. Surprisingly, many jobs require some algebra skills, such as video game developer, animator, investment banker, business owner, and more. *SAT is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse, this product. But learning all of this isnt just for the purpose of getting a good job or better grades.
