Question:

The figure of question is attached below

Answer:

The length of segment BC is 144 units

Solution:

The figure of question is attached below

From given figure,

Line BC = Line CD + Line DB

Given that,

CD = 3x + 8

DB = 4x + 10

BC = 8x

Therefore, length of segment BC is :

8x = 3x + 8 + 4x + 10

8x = 7x + 18

x = 18

Therefore,

BC = 8x

BC = 8(18)

BC = 144

Thus length of segment BC is 144 units
