Patty has a photograph that is 5 inches wide and 6 inches long. She enlarged each side by the same amount. By how much was the photograph enlarged if the new area is 182 square inches? PLEASE HURRY​

Each side was increased by 8. If you add 8 to both sides you get 13 and 14, if you multiply those together you get 182 to confirm your answer.
