Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, sides AB and sides AC are equal

AB=AC

8x-4 = 5x+11

Subtract 5x from each side

8x-5x-4 = 5x-5x+11

3x-4 = 11

Add 4 to each side

3x-4+4 = 11+4

3x=15

Divide by 3

3x/3 =15/3

x=5

We want to find BC

BC= 4x-2

Since x=5

BC = 4(5) -2

BC = 20-2

BC =18
