Uh I don't have any actual work I need help answering I just have a question about a math course in general. I apologize if I'm not allowed to make a forum for this.

No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/

Sorry about that. My specific question is how do I make it through Intermediate Algebra. I'm a freshman in college and I failed the class my first semester and I've honestly never been good at math even in highschool. I quite literally don't know a single thing when it comes to anything math related besides some of the basics and now I'm kind of in a hole where I got dropped from 2 other classes due to me not passing Intermediate Algebra and not having a high enough GPA. I'd like to know how to begin catching up and preparing to retake Intermediate Algebra and actually be good at math for once in my life.

There is a very good website for people who are in situations like yours, which is quite common. The site is Khan Academy (link: https://www.khanacademy.org/). This site has math courses from Pre-K all the way to university level. I would recommend signing up and going through the different grade levels until you find a place where you start struggling. This will give you a starting place to work from, and you can continue to use the site to keep learning.

When you are learning math you should always try to understand concepts conceptually, and you should solve problems. Most of math is learned by doing problems, rather than listening to people lecture. No matter what resource you use you should make sure you complete related problems. If you ever struggle feel free to ask questions in this discord. Youtube videos can also be a good resource if you need more help.
