====Problem====
Suppose <math>AB, AC</math>, and <math>BC</math> have lengths <math>13, 14</math>, and <math>15</math>, respectively.  If <math>\frac{AF}{FB} = \frac{2}{5}</math> and <math>\frac{CE}{EA} = \frac{5}{8}</math>,  find <math>BD</math> and <math>DC</math>.
====Solution====
If <math>BD = x</math> and <math>DC = y</math>, then <math>10x = 40y</math>, and <math>{x + y = 15}</math>.  From this, we find <math>x = 12</math> and <math>y = 3</math>.
