The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 m. If the width were doubled and the length were increased by 5 m, the perimeter would be 100 m. What are the length and width of the rectangle?
A) Length: 16 m; width: 11 m
B) Length: 13 m; width: 19 m
C) Length: 16 m; width: 16 m
D) Length: 19 m; width: 13 m

The original perimeter equation is 2(l + w) = 64, simplifying to l + w = 32. The modified perimeter equation is 2(l + 5 + 2w) = 100, simplifying to l + 2w = 45. Solving these equations gives l = 19 and w = 13.
