Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

An art project has an area of 63.6 square inches. What is the width, in inches, of the project?

A rectangle is shown divided into 4 smaller rectangles that are related to the size of the edges. The top edge is labeled 10 inches and 2 inches, above the top two rectangles. The top two rectangles are much larger than the bottom two rectangles

Let

x ----> the length of the art project in inches

y ----> the width of the art project in inches

we know that

The area of the rectangular art project is equal to

we have

so

----> equation A

substitute the value of x in the equation A

solve for y

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples
