At an animal shelter, the number of cats is 5 more than three times the number of dogs. If d represents the number of dogs at the shelter, which expression can be used to represent the number of cats?
the number of cats is 5 more than three times the number of dogs.
lets try to change this a bit at a time
is that means =
the number of cats = 5 more than three times the number of dogs.
the number of cats = 5 more than three times the number of dogs.
three times the number of dogs = 3d
so 5 more than (three times the number of dogs) = 3d+5
the number of cats = 3d+5
c=3d+5
