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) , 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 yards.(1 point)

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

Given:

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

First, we substitute the values of \( l \) and \( w \) into the expression:

\[ l + 2w = 5 + 2(2) = 5 + 4 = 9 \]

Next, we multiply this result by 7 to find the total cost:

\[ 7(l + 2w) = 7(9) = 63 \]

Thus, the cost for the fencing materials is $63.

The correct response is:

$63
