This is how you do it :) let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps :)
Let D be dogs and C be cats
<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>
D + 5 = 2C
<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio of cats to dogs will be</em>
D + 8 = 2C + 3
<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>
Simply plug in the numbers
20 + 5 = 2(15)
This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30
