Mr. Rodriguez has a vegetable garden that borders his house. He wants to put a fence around it. It costs $7 per yard for the materials. Evaluate 7(l + 2w)

To find the cost of fencing Mr. Rodriguez's garden, we need to evaluate the expression \(7(l + 2w)\) where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width of the garden.

Given:

• Length (\(l\)) = 5 yards
• Width (\(w\)) = 2 yards

Now, substitute these values into the expression:

\[ 7(l + 2w) = 7(5 + 2 \cdot 2) \]

Calculating inside the parentheses first:

\[ 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \]

So now we have:

\[ 7(5 + 4) = 7(9) \]

Now calculating:

\[ 7 \cdot 9 = 63 \]

Therefore, the cost for the garden is \($63\).

So the correct response is:

$63
