<u>Answer:</u>
- The length of BC is 25 units.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We know that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. Hence, we know that AB = AC. Let's first solve for x.</u>
- => 4x + 1 = 2x + 23
- => 4x - 2x = -1 + 23
- => 2x = 22
- => <u>x = 11</u>
<u>Now, let's substitute the value into the expression.</u>
- => 3x - 8
- => 3(11) - 8
- => 33 - 8
- => <u>25</u>
<u>Hence,</u><u> the length of BC is 25 units.</u>
