Question

Mr Rogers has a vegetable garden that borders his house he wants to put a fence around it it cost $7 per yard for the materials evaluate 7l + 2W where l is the length and w is the width of his garden to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yd

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of the fencing for Mr. Rogers' garden, we can use the formula given:

\[ 7l + 2W \]

where:
- \( l \) is the length of the garden,
- \( w \) is the width of the garden,
- the cost of materials is $7 per yard.

Plugging in the values for length and width:

- Length (\( l \)) = 5 yards
- Width (\( W \)) = 2 yards

Now, substituting these values into the formula:

\[
Cost = 7l + 2W = 7(5) + 2(2)
\]

Calculating each term:

\[
7(5) = 35
\]
\[
2(2) = 4
\]

Now, sum these results:

\[
Cost = 35 + 4 = 39
\]

Thus, the total cost for the fencing material is **$39**.
