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 for the garden, we first need to calculate the perimeter.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2l + 2w.
For the given garden with a length of 5 yards and width of 2 yards, the perimeter is:
P = 2(5) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 yards.
Next, we multiply the perimeter by the cost per yard:
14 yards * $7/yard = $98.
Therefore, the correct answer is $98.
To find the cost of the fence for Mr. Rodriguez's garden, we can substitute the length and width values into the formula 7(l + 2w).
Given:
Length (l) = 5 yards
Width (w) = 2 yards
Substituting these values into the formula:
7(5 + 2(2)) = 7(5 + 4) = 7(9) = 63
Therefore, the cost for the fence for a garden with a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards is $63.
To find the cost of the fence for Mr. Rodriguez's garden, we can use the formula 7(l + 2w), where l is the length and w is the width of the garden.
Given that the length is 5 yards and the width is 2 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:
7(l + 2w) = 7(5 + 2(2))
Simplifying inside the parentheses:
7(5 + 4) = 7(9)
Now, we can calculate the cost:
7(9) = 63
So, the cost to put a fence around Mr. Rodriguez's garden is $63.
