Let $ABCD$ is a convex quadrilateral.The internal angle bisectors of $\angle {BAC}$ and $\angle {BDC}$ meets at $P$.$\angle {APB}=\angle {CPD}$.Prove that $AB+BD=AC+CD$.

Let $B'$ be a point on the line $AB$ such that $AB'=AC$ and $C'$ be a point on the line $DC$ such that $DC'=BD$.
So, it suffices to prove that $BB'=CC'$.
$\triangle AB'P \cong \triangle ACP$ $ \Rightarrow \angle APB'=\angle APC$ $ \Rightarrow \angle BPB'=\angle APD$.
Similiarly, $\triangle DBP \cong \triangle DC'P \Rightarrow \angle CPC'=\angle APD $
So, $\angle BPB'=\angle CPC'$.
In $ \triangle BPB'$ and $ \triangle CPC',$
$\angle BPB'=\angle CPC'$
$BP=PC'$
$B'P=PC$
So, $\triangle BPB' \cong \triangle CPC'$
So, $BB'=CC' \Rightarrow AB+BD=AC+CD$
$(Q.E.D.)$

No need to draw a figure?
