Math Is Fun Forum

I've recently stumbled upon a challenge while working through some math problems and was hoping to get some insights from you all. Despite revisiting the basics and applying different strategies, I seem to hit a wall when trying to solve more complex equations. It's like there's a gap in my understanding that I can't quite bridge. Has anyone else experienced this kind of obstacle? How do you overcome these moments of stagnation and what resources or techniques do you find most helpful in deepening your understanding and solving more advanced problems?
