I'm interested in Langley's problem.

I've been struggling to solve the following question and I've just got the result by a tedious calculation using Euler's formula eiπx/180=cosx°+sinx°

In a convex quadrilateral ABCD

, letting ∠ABD=38°,∠DBC=46°,∠BCA=22°,∠ACD=48°,

then find ∠BDA

The answer I got is ∠BDA=18°

. Then, here is my question.

Question: Could you show me how to prove this by the way of elementary geometry?

I've tried, but it seems very difficult.
