To decorate a house, lights will be hung around the entire home, as shown, where x=32 and y=41. They also be placed around the two 4-foot-by-4-foot windows in the front. How many feet of lights will be needed?

the phrase " lights will be hung around the entire home, as shown," indicates an image which must be adequately described
I would suspect that x=32 and y=41 are lengths and widths for a rectangular home, if so, then the feet of lights required is the perimeter of the home plus the perimeters of the two 4x4 windows:
perimeter = 2(length + width)
2(32+41) + 2(4+4) + 2(4+4)
