The length of the rectangle is 5 more than twice the width. If the length is 13 feet, What is the width of the rectangle?

let L represent the rectangle’s length and W its width. Then (in feet)

L = 2*W + 5

2*W + 2*L = 28

So

2*W+ 4*W + 10 = 28

6*W = 18

W = 3

L = 11

For a reason I got this?
This might be wrong thow but I agree with the comment above mines
