Answer:
The maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a function to represent the cost of her team's lunch in function of the number of people in the team. We have:

Since she needs to stay on budget, the cost has to be less or equal to 170, therefore:

Since she can't buy 0.8 sandwiches, the maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.
Answer: x" = 5.69
Step-by-step explanation:
The graphic solution is attached.
Verifying the solution:
Existence condition: x > 0
2x - 4 = √x + 5
√x =2x - 4 - 5
√x =2x - 9 (²)
x = (2x - 9)²
x = 4x² - 36x + 81
4x² - 36x - x + 81 = 0
4x² - 37x + 81 = 0
Δ = -37² - 4.4.81 = 1369 - 1296 = 73
x = 37 ±√73/8
x' = 3.55
x" = 5.69
checking:
2*3.55 - 4 = 3.1
√3.55 + 5 = 6.88 Its not the same ∴ 3.55 is not a solution
2*5.69 - 4 = 7.39
√5.69 + 5 = 7.39 ∴ it's the only solution
<span>If the condition means conventional/regular rectangular piece of paper, then it is, probably,
rectangle of 8+3+3 = 14 inches wide and 3+10+3+10 = 26 inches long.</span>
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
