To find the cost of the fence around Mr. Rodriguez's vegetable garden, we can use the expression $ 7(l + 2w) $.

Given:

Length ($ l $) = 5 yards
Width ($ w $) = 2 yards

First, we need to compute $ l + 2w $:

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

Now, we can substitute this value into the expression and calculate the cost:

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

Thus, the cost for the fence is $63.
