A flower pots base has six sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x - 6 units. The bases perimeter is 78 units. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the Box.

The perimeter of this hexagon is
         (x-6) + (x-6) + ... = 6(x-6) = P
The perimeter is equal to 78. P = 78, so create the equation
                                               78 = 6(x - 6)
                                               78 = 6(x - 6)
                                               13 = x - 6
                                                 x = 19
The answer to this question is x = 19.
