Help me solve this problem! I have tried it many times but nothing appeared. This is the question: If a:b=c:d=e:f, prove that each is equal to (a+c-e):(b+d-f).

Let $$\frac ab=\frac cd=\frac ef=k$$
$\implies Xa+Yc+Ze=k(Xb+Yd+Zd)$

Thank you but I need more solution but my teacher left me clues and I don't know if it is correct or not: a/b=c/d=e/f=a+c-e/b+d-f a=bk, c=dk, e=fk and I don't know what to do next, please help. – Wilson Royce Ong King Oct 16 '14 at 11:09

@WilsonRoyceOngKing, Here $$X=Y=1, Z=-1$$ – lab bhattacharjee Oct 16 '14 at 11:16
