His mastery of calculation also enabled him to solve equations above the second degree, which contemporary algebra was unable to do. For example, taking the equation that in modern notation is written 6x3 – 4x2 = 34x + 24, headded 6x3 + 20x2 to each member and obtained, after other transformations,
