Best answer
The Greeks formed a geometric algebra. In here, they use sides of geometric objects, mainly lines consisting of associated letters in order to represent the terms. Thus, through this new kind of algebra, they made it possible to find out solutions to equations by making use of this same process which they referred to as 'the application of areas'.
