2018 AIME II Problem 14

The incircle \omega of triangle ABC is tangent to \overline{BC} at X. Let Y \neq X be the other intersection of \overline{AX} with \omega. Points P and Q lie on \overline{AB} and \overline{AC}, respectively, so that \overline{PQ} is tangent to \omega at Y. Assume that AP = 3, PB = 4, AC = 8, and AQ = \dfrac{m}{n}, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
