Trent ordered 3 veggie sandwiches and 2 meat sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total sandwiches ordered = 5

Total amount spent = $22

Cost of one veggie sandwich = $4

Cost of one meat sandwich = $5

Let,

x be the number of veggie sandwiches

y be the number of meat sandwiches

According to given statement;

x+y=5       Eqn 1

4x+5y=22   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=5)\\4x+4y=20\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(4x+5y)-(4x+4y)=22-20\\4x+5y-4x-4y=2\\y=2

Putting y=2 in Eqn 1

x+2=5\\x=5-2\\x=3

Trent ordered 3 veggie sandwiches and 2 meat sandwiches.
