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, multiply the cost per yard ($7) by the perimeter of the garden, which is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width.
The perimeter of the garden is 2(5) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 yards.
Now, evaluate 7(l + 2w) using the values given: 7(5 + 2*2) = 7(5 + 4) = 7(9) = 63.
So the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards is $63.
