Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle and let DD be a point on the segment BCBC such that AD=BCAD=BC. \\ Suppose CAD=x,ABC=y\angle{CAD}=x^{\circ}, \angle{ABC}=y^{\circ} and ACB=z\angle{ACB}=z^{\circ} and x,y,zx,y,z are in an arithmetic progression in that order where the first term and the common difference are positive integers. Find the largest possible value of ABC\angle{ABC} in degrees.
