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 the fence around Mr. Rodriguez's vegetable garden, we first need to evaluate the expression \( 7(l + 2w) \).

Given:

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

Now, substitute the values into the expression:

1. Calculate \( l + 2w \): \[ l + 2w = 5 + 2(2) = 5 + 4 = 9 \]

2. Now, substitute this result into the cost expression: \[ 7(l + 2w) = 7(9) = 63 \]

Thus, the cost for the fence is $63.

The correct response is $63.
