Find the number which when added to the given ratio a : b, the ratio changes to c : d

Given four integers a, b, c and d. The task is to find the number X which when added to the numbers a and b the ratio changes from a : b to c : d.
Examples:

Input: a = 3, b = 6, c = 3, d = 4
Output: 6
When 6 is added to a and b
a = 3 + 6 = 9
b = 6 + 6 = 12
And, the new ratio will be 9 : 12 = 3 : 4
Input: a = 2, b = 3, c = 4, d = 5
Output: 2

Approach: Old ratio is a : b and new ratio is c : d. Let the required number be X,
So, (a + X) / (b + X) = c / d
or, ad + dx = bc + cx
or, x(d – c) = bc – ad
So, x = (bc – ad) / (d – c)
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the
// required number X
int getX(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{
    int X = (b * c - a * d) / (d - c);
    return X;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 2, b = 3, c = 4, d = 5;
 
    cout << getX(a, b, c, d);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function to return the
// required number X
static int getX(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{
    int X = (b * c - a * d) / (d - c);
    return X;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
 
    int a = 2, b = 3, c = 4, d = 5;
    System.out.println (getX(a, b, c, d));
 
}
}

Python

# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to return the
# required number X
def getX(a, b, c, d):
 
    X = (b * c - a * d) // (d - c)
    return X
 
# Driver code
 
a = 2
b = 3
c = 4
d = 5
 
print(getX(a, b, c, d))

{
     
// Function to return the
// required number X

{
    int X = (b * c - a * d) / (d - c);
    return X;
}
 
// Driver code
static public void Main ()
{
    int a = 2, b = 3, c = 4, d = 5;
    Console.Write(getX(a, b, c, d));
}
}
