Hi!
If you are talking about a university algebra course, then it would be much harder and will take you more time than the KID theory you need at your chess level. A University Algebra course migh take you easily 200 hours and on top of that you need to approve difficult exams. I believe that with 10 hours of KID prep you are OK to play at your level and succeed in games.
I know this by experience.
By the way, if you would like to take lessons from an expert player, on the KID or other chess tipics, do not hesitate to contact me!
Good luck!
