    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
