Answer:

BC = 27

Explanation:

The point B is the midpoint of AC

=> AB = BC

=> 4x - 5 = 11 + 2x

Let's calculate x to work out BC

Transferring the components containing x to the left side, and other components to the right side:

=> 4x - 2x = 11 + 5

Simplifying both sides:

=> 2x = 16

=> x = 8

Working out BC:

=> BC = 11 + 2x = 11 + 2(8) = 11 + 16 = 27

Hope this helps!
