Equation B is written in vertex form, which means you can read the vertex (extreme value) from the numbers in the equation.
Vertex form is
y = a(x -h)² + k
where the vertex (extreme point) is (h, k). Whether that is a maximum or a minimum depends on the sign of "a". When "a" is negative, the graph is a parabola that opens downward, so the vertex is a maximum.
Equation B reveals its extreme value without needing to be altered.
The extreme value of this equation is a maximum at the point (2, 5).

Let 
be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation
Solving for, you have
So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.
