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.

Evaluate inside the parentheses first:
l + 2w = 5 + 2(2) = 5 + 4 = 9.

Then multiply by 7:
7(9) = 63.

So the fence costs $63.
