Can someone recommend me some books that have practice problems for algebra with answers ?

This is a good one:
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4757-2941-2
but I'm not sure to which extend it matches your request "with answers". Good textbooks tend to have exercises without given answers. But the book above contains many real world applications to algebraic concepts.
