“Fundamental Mathematics” fourth edition by Wade and Taylor is the best book I am aware of for learning mathematics from scratch.
(Not answering the question you asked, but hopefully a useful answer nonetheless)

My son discovered he'd been faking math and not retaining and understanding it. He had excellent success using https://brilliant.org/ to restart at early high school math and work forward, learning it properly. Just got an A for his second year university maths class on the strength of it.
