The sum of x and y is at least 2 but no more than 5.
i.e., 2 ≤ (x + y) ≤ 5

If the total of twice x and three times y is non-negative and no more than 40
i.e., 0 ≤ 2x + 3y ≤ 40 ---- (1)

We have to find possible values of y.
We have range of values for (x + y). With this we can find range of values of 2x + 2y
4 ≤ 2x + 2y ≤ 10
Therefore, range of values for -2x - 2y is obtained by multiplying the entire inequality by -1. Note, the sign of the inequality will change.
-10 ≤ -2x - 2y ≤ -4 ---(2)

Add (1) and (2)

-10 ≤ y ≤ 36

Choice C.

B. −10 ≤ y ≤ 30
C. −10 ≤ y ≤ 36
D. 0 ≤ y ≤ 40
E. 2 ≤ y ≤ 5


We can create the following inequalities:

2 ≤ x + y ≤ 5

0 ≤ 2x + 3y ≤ 40

Multiplying the first inequality by -2, we have:

-4 ≥ -2x - 2y ≥ -10

-10 ≤ -2x - 2y ≤ -4

Adding this to 0 ≤ 2x + 3y ≤ 40, we have:

-10 ≤ y ≤ 36

Answer: C

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
