Given


\begin{gathered} x=3t...Equation\text{ i} \\ y=t+3...\text{ Equation ii} \\ \\ -2\leq t\leq3 \end{gathered}

Make t the subject


\begin{gathered} x=3t \\ t=(x)/(3) \end{gathered}

Substitute for t in equation ii


y=(x)/(3)+3

Substitute for t in the given range


\begin{gathered} -2\leq t\leq3 \\ -2\leq(x)/(3)\leq3 \\ \\ clear\text{ the fraction by multiply all through by 3} \\ -6\leq x\leq9 \end{gathered}

The final answer

Option C
