GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the cost of the fence around Mr. Rodriguez's garden, we need to evaluate the expression $ 7(l + 2w) $ using the given length $ l = 5 $ yards and width $ w = 2 $ yards.

First, we calculate $ l + 2w $:

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

Now, we can substitute this value into the expression $ 7(l + 2w) $:

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

Thus, the cost for the fence is $$63$.

The correct response is: $63.
