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!)

$A_triangle AXB: A_triangle AXC=BX:CXRightarrow A_triangle AXB=fracBXCXA_triangle AXC$
$A_triangle PXB: A_triangle PXC=BX:CXRightarrow A_triangle PXB=fracBXCXA_triangle PXC$
Hence $$fracA_triangle A X B -A _triangle P X BA _triangle A X C-A_ triangle P X C=fracfracBXCXA_triangle AXC-fracBXCXA_triangle PXCA _triangle A X C-A_ triangle P X C=fracBXCX$$
