I went back to school as an old guy and put my hard math class off until the last semester, due to fear. I don't even remember which class it was. But I took advantage of the free tutoring and everything was fine. Just do that.
I can't remember the name of it, or any of my other classes really. This was 2012 and I was already old back then. It wasn't just "algebra" or "calculus", it was an intimidating title. A little weird getting tutored by children, but worth it.
Algebra isn't hard; just tedious. Everything about it can be boiled down to PEMDAS and FOIL. Just don't fuck up the factoring when you get into II and III.
I don't know if it was just me, but it was easier to relearn as an adult.
Learn the sine, cosine, tangent shit. That was my biggest hurdle and I was one semester away from a minor in math.
Butt...Unless you want to cheat like a street shitter. Basically you have to relearn everything. If you like to poo in the streets and on beaches you can always have AI do it for you.
That's as high as I went. I thought Calc 2 was harder, but I'd be lying if I told you I remembered a god damned thing. ChatGPT can be an extremely useful resource for learning. It is capable of explaining concepts at different levels of difficulty. If you simply give it intelligent prompts, you can pretty much assist it in teaching you. Start with an ELI5 and then ask it to progress you to the level appropriate for the course.
That shit can explain anything, but you have to ask the right questions. If you can identify what you dont know it can certainly find and elaborate the info. Its really helpful to simply tell it to explain it further or point out the part you dont understand about what it said or how it said it.

You can even make it quiz you.
