Answer:

BC = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

B is the midpoint of AC

Then AC = AB + BC

AC = 8x - 20 and AB = 3x - 1

Then,

8x - 20 = (3x - 1) + BC

8x - 20 - (3x - 1) = BC

8x - 20 - 3x + 1 = BC

5x - 19 = BC

But AB = BC

5x - 19 = 3x - 1

5x - 3x = - 1 + 19

2x = 18

x = 9

Hence,

Since BC = AB = 3x - 1

3(9) - 1

27 - 1

= 26
