Answer:

BC = 25

Explanation:

If the base angles are equal, then the sides opposite them are as well.

  • 4x + 4 = 6x - 14 Subtract 4x from both sides
  • 4x - 4x + 4 = 6x - 4x - 14 Combine
  • 4 = 2x - 14 Add 14 to both sides
  • 4 + 14 = 2x - 14 + 14 Combine
  • 18 = 2x Divide by 2 and switch
  • 2x/2 = 18/2 Combine
  • x = 9

But that's not what you are asked for. You want the value of 2x + 7

  • BC = 2x + 7
  • BC = 2*9 + 7
  • BC = 25
