The answer is 25 units


Explanation:

As shown in the figure, angle A is congruent to angle C.

so the triangle is isosceles.

ABC is isosceles, so AB = BC

Finding x:    

5x + 5 = 7x - 1

5x - 7x = -1 -5

-2x = -6

2x = 6

x = 6/2 = 3


AC = 6x +7           we have x = 3

So:

AC = 6×3 +7 = 18 + 7 = 25 units
