Mr. Rodriguez has a vegetable garden that borders his house. He wants to put a fence around it. It cost seven dollars per yard for the for the materials evaluate 7 (l+2w) where is the length, and W is the width of his garden to find the cost of the garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards
To find the cost of the garden fence, you can use the formula given:
Cost = 7(l + 2w)
where l is the length of the garden and w is the width of the garden.
Given:
Length (l) = 5 yards
Width (w) = 2 yards
Cost per yard = $7
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
Cost = 7(5 + 2(2))
First, calculate 2 times 2, which equals 4.
Simplify further:
Cost = 7(5 + 4)
Now, calculate 5 plus 4, which equals 9.
Simplify further:
Cost = 7(9)
Finally, multiply 7 by 9:
Cost = $63
Therefore, the cost to fence Mr. Rodriguez's garden, which has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards, is $63.
