In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that calculates ∆ X value that satisfies the given equation. The equation is (a + ∆ X)/(b + ∆ X) = c/d.
Here, we need a little bit of math to solve the equation. And it's straightforward. Cross multiply and take ∆X to one side.
You will get the value of ∆X as (b*c-a*d)/(d-c).
We are given a, b, c, and d values. Finding \Delta XΔX value is straightforward.
Let's see the code.
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int findTheXValue(int a, int b, int c, int d) { return (b * c - a * d) / (d - c); } int main() { int a = 5, b = 2, c = 8, d = 7; cout << findTheXValue(a, b, c, d) << endl; return 0; }
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
