Answer:
BC = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
It's an isosceles triangle (congruent angles ∠C ≅ ∠B).
Therefore AC = AB.
We have the equation:
[tex]4x+1=2x+23[/tex] subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]4x=2x+22[/tex] subtract 2x from both sides
[tex]2x=22[/tex] divide both sides by 2
[tex]x=11[/tex]
Substitute the value of x to the expression BC = 3x - 8:
[tex]BC = 3(11) - 8=33-8=25[/tex]
