@Holmes874

You can use this method:-


Select the rectangles you want to resize then go to OBJECT(menu)>PATH>Offset path
You can now enter the size you want to increase or decrease (by entering offset value). DONE!!


as you want to increase same height and width, this method just work perfect for you

here's the demonstration

Have you tried transform again shortcut? (Control/Command + D)

You perform a transform setting on one object then you select another object and do Cmd+D. It will transform the new object with the same setting.
