I need info on triangle

One half of a triangle is labeled BAC.  <B & <A are 45 degrees.  <C=90 degrees.  Base is 28 (AD).  Altitude Line (segment BA) is 21.  The hypotenuse is  divided into 2 (BC=x, & CD =35.  I need (x) which is the line BC. The line AC has no number or letter.   Need (x).   Th for                B                Only angles marked is <A which is divided by line AC into 2   45 degree <s. 
                                                   |  \
                                                   |     \   x
                                                   |        \    C   <c=90 deg
                                     21          |         / \            ( line BD = 35+x)
                                                   |       /    \      35
                                                   |      /      \
                                                   |    /         \
               <=45 deg            A        |  /            \     D  <= 45 deg
                                                   ----------------

The triangle you created is good  =), but I have a couple clarification questions before I can help you. Is this right? You were told that:
 
1. <B is 45 degrees
2. <BAC is 45 degrees
3. <BCA is 90 degrees
4. <BAD is 90 degrees

The triangle goes right around.  altitude is 21(AB); base is 28 (AD); hypotenuse (DB) is 35 + x.  Need x (CB).  Left corner is marked with the angle sign which I figured was 45 degrees each (being a right angle).  Lline BD intersected by a line which goes from corner of A to middle of DB which is C.   Other angles  were not marked.    Kathryn

If CD is 35 and C is the midpoint of DB, then x=35. CD is half of BD.
