A number, y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3. The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number. Which equations represent the situation? 2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 6 and x minus 3 y = 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and x minus 3 y = 5

I'm sure the answer is a

First locate the turning point (vertex) of the graph. which is at the coordinates x=5 and y=9 or (5; 9).to determine whether it's a maximum or mininum value, you have to discern whether the vertex's y-value is the highest value or lowest value the graph can reach. since the vertex's y-value, 9 is the highest value the graph can reach, it will be a maximum.another basic way to determine whether the vertex's value is max or min is to see if the graph is smiling or sad. if it's smiling, the turning point/vertex would be a minimum, while a sad parabola would have a maximum y-value at the vertex.
