Answer:

BD is congruent to BC. BD=BC

BD = 5x – 26, BC = 2x + 1, and AC = 43

To find out , we need to find BC first . For that we have to find out x

WE know that BD=BC, using that we solve for x

Now we plug in 9 for x and find out BC

BC=2x+1

BC=2(9)+1

BC=19

We know AC= 43

AC=AB +AC

43=AB+19

subtract 19

AB = 24
