273. In the Garden. Once, over a cup of tea, Colonel Crackham said:

- My friend Tompkins loves to challenge us with unexpected puzzles at every opportunity, but they are not too profound. One day, while we were strolling in the garden, he suddenly pointed to a rectangular flower bed and said:
- If I made it 2 meters wider and 3 meters longer, it would be 64 square meters larger; but if I made it 3 meters wider and 2 meters longer, it would increase by 68 square meters.

What are the length and width of the flower bed?
273. The flower bed was \(14 \mathrm{m}\) long and \(10 \mathrm{m}\) wide.
