    To be able to answer the question above, understand that LC is the sum of the lengths of LM and MC. By this the following equation is generated,

    LC = LM + MC

    6x - 6 = 11 + 2x + 5

    Solving for the value of x gives x = 5.5.

    Substitute the obtained value of x to the expression for the length of MC.

    MC = 2x + 5 = 2 (5.5) + 5 = 16

    Thus, the length of MC is 16 units.
