well start by representing your trucks and cars as variables
we'll use x for trucks since you are using them to figure out the number of cars and y for the number of cars so...
x= # of trucks
y= # of cars
now how are they related? well, there are 5 times as many cars as trucks, so that means you multiply whatever value of trucks you have by 5?
How would you represent that algebraically using the variables we have assigned above?
