In triangle ABC, the angle bisector of BAC meets ¯BC at D, such that AD = AB. Line segment ¯AD is extended to E, such that CD = CE and DBE=BAD. Show that triangle ACE is isosceles. 

 

 

What I currently have is:

Since ¯AD and ¯BD are the same length, then ABC is isoceles and B and D are congruent. We let ABD equal to x. We let B and D equal to y. Because ADB and DCE$ are vertical angles, then they are congruent, and therefore DCE$ is y. ADC$ and BDE are vertical angles as well, and they are both 180y.

 

I don't know what else I can derive, and I'm kind of stuck at this point.

This is AoPS homework.  Stop trying to cheat on your homework.

@Guest, 

I'm not trying to cheat, I'm simply asking for some help. I even wrote what I had so far. Cheating would just be copy and pasting the question here with no further explanation.
