Problem Statement

Assume that the two triangles ABCABC and ABCA'B'C' have the common incircle and the common circumcircle. Let a point PP lie inside both the triangles. Prove that the sum of the distances from PP to the sidelines of triangle ABCABC is equal to the sum of distances from PP to the sidelines of triangle ABCA'B'C'.
