As a computer science master's applicant, how can I address consistently low scores in Math courses in my SOP? What are good ways to offset this?

I have had 4 math courses during my undergraduate studies, one each in the first four semesters:

Applied maths 1: 40/100 (Exactly 40 is required to pass!)
Applied maths 2: 40/100
Applied maths 3: 40/100
Applied maths 4: 28*/100 (Fail grade but I was exempted from reappearing because of 15 mark bonus the university gives students who do social work)

 

GRE quant: 160/170 (78th percentile) (Took the test in my 6th semester.)

I know exactly how bad this is. Solutions, solutions.

Retake the equivalent/more difficult courses at local universities? I mean you are going for CS, must have some decent Math background. I don't know if they'd like the fact that you passed because of social work lol (though the work itself is good).

They're not going to know how I passed. But India doesn't allow retaking courses. There's no other university where I could do this while also completing my college degree. Is there any online course that might have the same credibility?
