x 7 |  |
: | |
5x x 3 + | |
5x - | 1 | x 5x | |
x 7 | |
| 4 | 5 |

They did not take the capital as x.
The numbers were assumed to be 4x and 5x because their ratios were 4:5.

For that (4x-1/4*x):(5x-1/5*5).
We are applying like this,
Assume a=4x, b=x/4, c=5, d=x/5.
b*c/a*d.
If we apply like this we can easily get 3x:4x.
