Answer:
Option B. The equation has a maximum value with a y-coordinate of -21.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct quadratic equation is

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
Convert to vertex form
Factor -3

Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point (2,-21)
therefore
The equation has a maximum value with a y-coordinate of -21

Answer: 
Answer:
= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of equations. You can solve it by substitution or elimination. I'm going to use substitution x - 2y = -4.5; add 2y to each side x - 2y + 2y = -4.5 + 2y; simplify x = 2y - 4.5 2(2y - 4.5) + 3y = 12 4y - 9 + 3y = 12 7y - 9 = 12 7y - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9 7y = 21 y = 3 <--------first answer x - 2y = -4.5 x - 2(3) = -4.5 x - 6 = -4.5 x -6 + 6 = -4.5 + 6 x = 1.5 <--------second answer Check: 2(1.5) + 3(3) = 12? 3 + 9 = 12? 12 = 12; It checks 1.5 - 2(3) = -4.5? 1.5 - 6 = -4.5? -4.5 = -4.5; It checks x = 1.5 and y = 3 <-----------Final Answer
