2a+7b : 2a-7b = 2c+7d : 2c-7d

Solution
2a+7b : 2a-7b = 2c+7d : 2c -7d
`"a"/"b" = "c"/"d"`
Multiplying both sides by `2/7`
`=> "a"/"b" xx 2/7 = "c"/"d" xx 2/7`
`=> (2"a")/(7"b") = (2"c")/(7"d")`
Applying componendo and dividendo,
`(2"a" + 7"b")/(2"a" - 7"b") = (2"c" + 7"d")/(2"c" - 7"d")`
Hence, 2a+7b : 2a-7b = 2c+7d : 2c-7d
