is this right correct my answer
Holly has a rectangular garden that measures 12 m wide by 14 m long. She wants to increase the area to 255 m2 by increasing the width and length by the same amount. What will be the dimensions of the new garden?

255 = (12)(14)
255 = (12 – x)(14 – x)
255 = (12 + x)(14 + x)
255 = (12 + x2)(14)

my answer is 22=(14)(12)

well if x is the increase in length and width you are adding x... 

so 

255 = (12 + x)(14 + x)
