In 1888 Maschke proved that a particular sixth-degree equation could be solved by using hyperelliptic functions and Brioschi showed that any sixth-degree algebraic equation could be reduced to Maschke's equation and therefore solved in the same way.
Sa 1888 Maschke na ang isang partikular na anim-degree equation ay maaaring malulutas sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng hyperelliptic function at Brioschi ay nagpakita na ang anumang anim-degree algebraic equation ay maaaring bawasan sa Maschke's equation at sa gayon ay malulutas sa parehong paraan.
