B) $2 l - 28 =$ width of rectangle
$l =$ length of rectangle
C) $2 l + 28 =$ width of rectangle
$\ell =$ length of rectangle
D) $2 w + 28 =$ length of rectangle
$\mathrm { w } =$ width of rectangle

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct expression is $2w + 28$, where $w$ represents the width of the rectangle. This expression correctly translates the statement that the length is 28 feet more than double the width.
