Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle and AB<AC<BCAB<AC<BC. Let D,ED,E be points on the side BCBC and the line ABAB, respectively (AA is between B,EB,E) such that BD=BE=ACBD=BE=AC. The circumcircle of ΔBED\Delta BED meets the side ACAC at PP and BPBP meets the circumcircle of ΔABC\Delta ABC at QQ. Prove that: AQ+CQ=BP. AQ+CQ=BP.
