Answer:

           BC = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is between A and C and the points A, B, and C are collinear so:

AB + BC = AC

487 + 5x + 8x + 709 = 91

  13x + 1196 = 91

       - 1196      - 1196

   13x  =  - 1105

     ÷13     ÷13

    x = - 85

BC =  8x + 709 = 8(-85) + 709 = - 680 + 709 = 29
