It is actually "Intermediate Algebra" that would work. It is lower credit than the regular Algebra course and you can complete it with ALEKS.com and transfer it in with ACE Credit (do a search of this site for more info on that).
They do have a Beginning Algebra but it is not accepted for College Level (at least with ALEKS).
Here are the "easiest" options:
To actually take the course at TESC you can do anything under Math or Statistics from this list:
Thomas Edison State College: General Education Electives
You could also do these courses:
ALEKS intermediate algebra
CLEP college math
ALEKS college algebra
ALEKS algebra w/trig
CLEP algebra
3 ALEKS precal
ALEKS trig
CLEP precalc
ALEKS stats
DSST stats exam
CLEP calculus
*Note that some of these overlap. I'd stick with ALEKS Intermediate Algebra or the CLEP College Math exam. The exception to this advice is if the degree plan asks for a specific course, many degrees ask for Algebra, Precalc, or something else specifically.

My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
