ext{ extdollar}. ext{ extdollar}X ext{ extdollar} is a point on ext{ extdollar}OC ext{ extdollar} such that ext{ extdollar}BX ext{ extdollar} is parallel to ext{ extdollar}DC ext{ extdollar}. Find ext{ extdollar}XD ext{ extdollar}. Give your answer as simply as possible in terms of ext{ extdollar}a ext{ extdollar} and ext{ extdollar}b ext{ extdollar}

Triangle Similarity: Since $OA = OC$ and triangles $OAD$ and $OCB$ are similar (by AA similarity), we have $\frac{OD}{OC} = \frac{OB}{OA}$ .
Ratio Calculation: Given $OB:BD = 3:2$ , we can express $BD$ as $\frac{2}{5}$ of $OB$ , so $BD = \frac{2b}{5}$ .
Expression for OD: Since $OD = OB + BD$ , we can write $OD = b + \frac{2b}{5} = \frac{7b}{5}$ .
Proportion Calculation: Using the similarity of triangles, we have $OD:OC = OB:OA$ , so $(\frac{7b}{5}):a = b:a$ .
Error Identification: From the proportion, we get $\frac{7b}{5} = b$ , which is not possible since $b$ cannot be equal to $\frac{7b}{5}$ unless $b$ is zero, which is not the case here. We made a mistake.
