Which outcome occurred typically when medieval Islamic mathematicians used al-jabr to allocate inheritance portions?

💡 Explanation

When inheritance portions were alocated, mathematicians used al-jabr (algebra) to solve equations determining legacy divisions because it gave a means to calculate proportions according to complex rules. Therefore precise division occurred, rather than alternatives like simplified tax calculations, land redistribution, or eliminating witness dependency, as algebra enabled equitable fractional solutions.
