@zepdrix help?

Answer 2

here is how the phrases would look..
He already used 27 square feet and he has 5 square feet left.
27sq ft + 5sq ft = all square feet of all 4 rolls

He bought 4 rolls of material.
(4)*s = all square feet of all 4 rolls


combine the two equations and...
(4)*s = 27sq ft + 5sq ft

Answer 3

So this is the equation 27sq ft + 5sq ft = all square feet of all 4 rolls?
