Get the solutions manual
This book does not have many examples to learn from and what they do have do not make it clear on how to procede with working out the equation. I strongly suggest that you buy the solutions manual for this book if you are able to locate it.

Easy way to learn
I'm using this book for review and like it very much. The presentation is simple and thorough, the examples are clear, and there are plenty of problems to solve (with solutions for odd-numbered problems). It incorporates using a graphing calculator into the instruction, and some problems ask you to use the graphing calculator to solve them.

I like the graphing and modeling approach to learning. Somehow it helps provide perspective to see the solutions numerically and/or graphically. I'd recommend this book over many of the others I've seen/used.

A good algebra book
This is a fairly decent algebra book. It gives some good examples. I would say you wouldn't be disappointed.
