Answer:

Width = 3 feet

Length = 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x feet.

Length = 2x + 5

Perimeter = 28 feet

2 * ( length + width ) = 28

        2 * (2x + 5 + x)  = 28

                      3x + 5  = 28/2 = 14

                              3x = 14 - 5 = 9

                                 x = 9/3

                                  x = 3

Width = 3 feet

Length = 2*3 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 feet
