I find that hard to believe. Many of the questions are routine. Can you post examples?
Try to solve by componendo dividendo proportion 19 examples 2 #13

$$\frac{2x^3-3x^2+x+1}{2x^3-3x^2-x-1}=\frac{3x^3-x^2+5x-13}{3x^3-x^2-5x+13}$$

Firstly, don't be discouraged by your initial struggles with the book. Higher algebra can be a challenging subject, and it takes time and practice to fully understand and apply the concepts. It's important to remember that solving problems in mathematics is a skill that requires practice and perseverance.

One suggestion would be to try solving simpler problems first, before moving on to more complex ones. This will help build your confidence and understanding of the basic principles before tackling harder questions.

Another approach could be to seek help from a tutor or a study group. They can provide additional explanations and practice problems to help you better understand the material.

Additionally, it might be helpful to review your study habits and techniques. Are you actively engaging with the material while reading? Are you taking notes or practicing problems as you go along? Finding a study method that works for you can greatly improve your understanding and retention of the material.

Remember, learning higher algebra takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged and keep practicing. With determination and the right resources, you will be able to solve those questions in no time.
