A median and an altitude

Geometry Level 2

A B C \triangle ABC has side lengths A B = 3 |AB|=3 , B C = 7 |BC|=7 , and A C = 8 |AC|=8 . Let E E be the midpoint of A C AC . The altitude from A A to B C BC and the median from B B to A C AC cut each other at X X . Find m + n m+n if B X X E \dfrac{|BX|}{|XE|} can be expressed as m n \dfrac {m}{n} , where m m and n n are coprime positive integers.
