Let x = number of CD's Tiffany has

so if "Ariel has 19 more CDs than her sister Tiffany has", then Ariel has x+19 CDs

and if "Victor has 3 times as many CDs as Ariel has", then Victor has 3(x+19) = 3x+57 CDs

Add them up

x + (x+19) + (3x + 57) = 5x + 76

So the answer is D) 5x + 76. So you are 100% correct.
