    Let:

    d = Dylan's weight

    2d+3 = Alan's weight

    3d-12 = Bruce's weight

    Since it is given that Cecil's weight is a combined weight of Alan's and Bruce's, the general expression of his weight would be:

    2d+3+3d-12

    Simplifying, Cecil's weight in terms of Dylan's weight would be 5d-9.
