GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the cost for a garden with a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards, we substitute the values of l and w into the expression 7(l + 2w).

l = 5
w = 2

7(5 + 2(2)) = 7(5 + 4) = 7(9) = 63

The cost for a garden with a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards is $63. Answer: \boxed{63}.
