Answer:
[tex]BC=24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in an isosceles triangle if two angles are congruent then the opposite sides of the angle must also be congruent.
Therefore [tex]AC=AB[/tex]
Then we can create an equation and solve for x
[tex]x+8=2x-1\\x+9=2x\\9=x[/tex]
Now that we have x we just need to substitute it for [tex]BC[/tex]
[tex]BC=3x-3\\BC=3(9)-3\\BC=27-3\\BC=24[/tex]
