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
