x and y for original length and breadth;
A, the same area for original and new rectangles

New rectangle has dimensions x+9 and y-5 for length and breadth.

Maybe you can do the algebra and arithmetic steps from here. You could start buy substituting for x into both A equations, and then simplify them.
