Problem Statement

In ABC\triangle ABC, let DD be the point on side BCBC such that AB+BD=DC+CA.AB+BD=DC+CA. The line ADAD intersects the circumcircle of ABC\triangle ABC again at point XAX \neq A. Prove that one of the common tangents of the circumcircles of BDX\triangle BDX and CDX\triangle CDX is parallel to BCBC.
