I've helped lots of people with Calc and the stumbling block is always their algebra. Calc itself is easy, but it requires a good deal of manipulating equations and that is all algebra. Linear algebra has less algebra but will still require you to have a good handle on algebra. The basic ideas should be easy to learn but make sure you can do them easily. This means lots of practice problems.

To be clear, you MUST practice, practice, practice. There are no short cuts. The calc problems get big and to solve them in a reasonable amount of time you'll need to be very fast with your algebra. Don't be discouraged, Algebra is not that hard. The problem is there are many rules and you need to be able to know them and see how they interact as a second nature. That will only come with practice.

Anything by Schaums is good for you here. You may not want to read their books but they are filled with problems that are solved in the back. I'm not sure what ones are best for your needs. There are lots of them and some are on complex topics. I would recommend you start to read another book people recommend here and then find the best one for your needs and use it as practice. I would guess you should take a look at their Trigonometry (you'll need this for Sin and Cos in Calc) and eitherElementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, or College Algebra

The Schaum's Outline books are very good. They all have lots of problems worked out in detail. I'm not personally familiar with their trig book but it's got five stars on Amazon.

I don't know exactly what math class you're in, but the "Schaum's Outline" series contains a ton of solved problems. They're also MUCH cheaper than buying a textbook.

Like I said I'm not sure what your skill level is, but here are a few I found on Amazon.
