BC is 28 units long.

To find x, write the equation 4x - 7 = 2x + 7, as sides AC and AB are equal because the triangle is isosceles. The triangle is isosceles due to the base angles theorem. Once we get x, which is 7, we need to substitute it into the equation of BC. We then get 4(7), which equals 28 units.
