To find the amount of lumber Peter will need, you will subtract the amount of space needed for the windows from the total area of the 5 walls.

Area of all 5 walls - area of the windows.

5 groups of 49 square feet - n groups of 4 square feet.

5 (7 x 7) - n (2 x 2)

245 - 4n would be the simplified expression representing the amount of lumber needed.
