If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

$l-the\ length\\l+8-the\ width\\A=172\ cm^2\\\\A=lengtf\cdot width\\\\subtitute\\\\l(l+8)=172\\\\l^2+8l=172\ \ \ |subtract\ 172\ from\ both\ sides\\\\l^2+8l-172=0\\a=1;\ b=8;\ c=-172\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=8^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-172)=64+688=752 > 0\\\\l_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ l_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{752}=\sqrt{16\cdot47}=4\sqrt{47}\\\\l_1=\dfrac{-8-4\sqrt{47}}{2\cdot1}=-4-2\sqrt{47} < 0\\\\l_2=\dfrac{-8+4\sqrt{47}}{2\cdot1}=-4+2\sqrt{47} > 0\\\\The\ width:l+8=-4+2\sqrt{47}+8=4+2\sqrt{47}\\\\Answer:\boxed{length=(2\sqrt{47}-4)cm;\ width=(4+2\sqrt{47})cm}$
$length\approx9.71cm;\ width\approx17.71cm$

The price of one vegetarian special lunch is $7 and price of one chicken special lunch is $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one vegetarian special lunch = x

Price of one chicken special lunch = y

According to given statement;

21x+40y=467 Eqn 1

28x+36y=484 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 28

$28(21x+40y=467)\\588x+1120y=13076\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 21

$21(28x+36y=484)\\588x+756y=10164\ \ \ Eqn\ 4$

Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3

$(588x+1120y)-(588x+756y)=13076-10164\\588x+1120y-588x-756y=2912\\364y=2912$

Dividing both sides by 364

$\frac{364y}{364}=\frac{2912}{364}\\y=8$

Putting y=8 in Eqn 1

$21x+40(8)=467\\21x+320=467\\21x=467-320\\21x=147$

Dividing both sides by 21

$\frac{21x}{21}=\frac{147}{21}\\x=7$

The price of one vegetarian special lunch is $7 and price of one chicken special lunch is $8.
