Answer:

  104

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint divides the segment into equal parts:

  BD = CD

  4x +12 = 2x +32

  2x = 20 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x+12

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The length of BC is the sum of the segment lengths:

  BC = BD +CD

  BC = (4x +12) +(2x +32) = 6x +44

For x=10, this is ...

  BC = 6(10) +44 = 104

The length of BC is 104 units.
