Question 550993: Use the properties of propotionality to solve:
%28a%2Bx%2Bsqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29%2F%28a%2Bx-sqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29=b/x

%28a%2Bx%2Bsqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29%2F%28a%2Bx-sqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29=b/x
multiply & divide by %28%28a%2Bx%29%2Bsqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29




%282a%28a%2Bx%29-2%28a%2Bx%29sqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29%2F%282x%28a%2Bx%29%29
%28%28a-sqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29%2Fx%29=b%2Fx
b=%28a-sqrt%28a%5E2-x%5E2%29%29
