Formulas, fractions, and factoring got you down? Master the fundamentals of operations, equations, exponents, and more to score higher in Algebra I!

This two-book bundle includes Algebra I For Dummies and Algebra I Workbook For Dummies. Together these two books give students helpful supplemental instruction and plenty of practice to help them score high in their high school Algebra class . . . this bundle is also for anyone looking to brush up on certain areas of Algebra. You might have a son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, niece, nephew, or another special person in your life studying Algebra I who needs a little help. You want to help, but don't know mathematical formulas from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Rest assured, you're in the right place.

Algebra gives you a solid foundation to enable you to move on to more complicated subjects in mathematics. Algebra I For Dummies gently introduces you to Algebra I, starting with a review of the basics -- getting you comfortable with negative and positive numbers before wading into fractions, decimals, exponents, radicals, and in which order to complete operations. From there, you tackle prime numbers, distribution, and equations (linear and quadratic). Finally, you get to the answer of that all-too-common question, "When will I ever use this in real life?" You'll learn how to apply algebra to everyday situations (really!) and discover that story problems truly reflect the real problems of life.

And next enter Algebra I Workbook For Dummies, filled with algebra problems to study, solve, and learn from. This hands-on guide has explanations, examples, and other helpful tidbits. It's organized similar to how Algebra I For Dummies is: You're introduced to basic concepts before moving on to the more complex ones, but you can dip into this workbook wherever you want. Grappling with graphing? Go straight to the graphing chapters. Formulas confounding you? Go to the chapters on formulas.

Online practice comes free with this workbook; it contains extra practice questions and quizzes corresponding with each of the book's chapters. The workbook shows you how to register for and gain access to the online practice.

Additionally, with this two-book bundle, you'll discover how to:

• Avoid common pitfalls in algebra
• Impress your friends by knowing famous mathematical equations
• Save yourself from embarrassment by catching and correcting common mistakes
• Make your algebra experience a little smoother with expert tips
