Answer 1

Answer:

x= 19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide the perimeter by the number of sides;

78/6 = 13

This means that the measurement of each side = 13 units

Given the equation for each side as x-6, equate that to 13 to solve for x;

x-6=13

Add 6 on both sides to become ; x=13+6

Therefore x= 19
