    This is the concept of algebra, suppose that the number of cats is x;

    number of cats will be x-20

    number of rabbits will be 3/2x

    thus the total number of animals will be:

    x + (x-20) + 3/2x=350

    7/2x=350+20

    7/2x=370

    x=370*2/7

    x=105.7=106

    therefore we conclude that there we 106 cats in the shelter
