>>13294421>today i had a physics exam and i had more problems with basic algebra that with the actual physicsIt means you didn't understand the physics as well as you thought you did, so you spent so much time thinking through the problem, you made sloppy mistakes along the way.
You clearly didn't do enough practice problems. The algebra won't change. Math past highschool is all about knowing how to set up the problem based on the given information. The algebra is the easy part.
