Answer:
BC = 35
Explanation:
The sum of the segments is the overall length.
AB +BC = AC
(2x +6) + (6x +5) = 51 . . . . substitute given values
8x +11 = 51 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
8x = 40 . . . . . . . subtract 11
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 8
BC = 6x+5 = 6(5) +5 . . . . . . . . use the value of x to find BC
BC = 35
