In Ceva's Theorem, I understand that $fracA_triangle PXBA_triangle PXC=fracBXCX=fracA_triangle BXAA_triangle CXA$.



I would like clarification in understanding the following step which states:



$fracA_triangle APBA_triangle APC=fracA_triangle AXB - A_triangle PXBA_triangle AXC-A_triangle PXC=fracBXCX$



How does the subtraction of the two areas make it so that the new triangles are still proportional to $fracBXCX$? (even though they do not share those sides!)
