Answer: BC is 4 units

If point B is the midpoint of line AC, then the distance from A to B is equal to the distance from B to C. This can be expressed as: AB = BC

Given that AB equals X + 6 and BC equals 5X - 6, we can set up an equation: X + 6 = 5X - 6

Now, solve for X

6X = 12

X = 2

Now that we have the value of X, we can find BC:

BC = 5X - 6

BC = 5 * 2 - 6

BC = 10 - 6

BC = 4

So, the length of BC is 4 units
