In Ceva's Theorem, I understand that $frac{A_{triangle PXB}}{A_{triangle PXC}}=frac{BX}{CX}=frac{A_{triangle BXA}}{A_{triangle CXA}}$.
I would like clarification in understanding the following step which states:
$frac{A_{triangle APB}}{A_{triangle APC}}=frac{A_{triangle AXB} - A_{triangle PXB}}{A_{triangle AXC}-A_{triangle PXC}}=frac{BX}{CX}$
How does the subtraction of the two areas make it so that the new triangles are still proportional to $frac{BX}{CX}$? (even though they do not share those sides!)

$A_{triangle AXB}: A_{triangle AXC}=BX:CXRightarrow A_{triangle AXB}=frac{BX}{CX}A_{triangle AXC}$
$A_{triangle PXB}: A_{triangle PXC}=BX:CXRightarrow A_{triangle PXB}=frac{BX}{CX}A_{triangle PXC}$
Hence $$frac{A_{triangle A X B} -A _{triangle P X B}}{A _{triangle A X C}-A_{ triangle P X C}}=frac{frac{BX}{CX}A_{triangle AXC}-frac{BX}{CX}A_{triangle PXC}}{A _{triangle A X C}-A_{ triangle P X C}}=frac{BX}{CX}$$
