Problem Statement

Inside acute XOY,\angle{XOY}, points MM and NN are taken so that XON=YOM\angle{XON}=\angle{YOM}. Point QQ is taken on segment OXOX such that NQO=MQX.\angle{NQO}=\angle{MQX}. Point PP is taken such that NPO=MPY.\angle{NPO}=\angle{MPY}. Prove the lengths of the broken lines MPNMPN and MQNMQN are equal.
