The squiggly lines and the 2 straight lines through to sides of the pentagon mean that they are congruent (equal in length).
So, to find the perimeter of a regular polygon, you add all of its sides together.
So, the perimeter= 4x-2+x-2+x-2+x+2+x+2
To simplify it, add all of the x's together.
4x+x+x+x+x=8x
Perimeter=8x-2-2-2+2+2
-2-2=-4-2=-6+2=-4+2=-2
Perimeter=8x-2

Hey there!
I would prefer method two.
Both methods give the right solution, but method two is more straightforward. Instead of distributing, you simply divide and don't need to do as much work.
Let me know if this helps :)
