I want to back up each of three iphones separately on the same PC, can anyone help? Also, I was told the I can only backup my phone on five different computers. How can I delete the old PC's that I backed up on, but no longer have?

Yes. Create different user accounts on the same PC for each of the backups. Do not try to back up more than one iPhone to iTunes in a specific user account.

Open iTunes on your computer. Go to Store > View Account from iTunes' menu. Sign in. Go to Computer Authorizations > Deauthorize all.

Just curious what the issue is with this. I back up an iPhone 6, an iPhone 4 (relegated to iPod duty), an iPad mini, and an older iPod Touch all to the same account and have never run into any issues. Thanks!
I should have been more precise and said instead:
Do not try to back up more than one iPhone with a different Apple ID to iTunes in a specific user account.
Sorry about the confusion. Actually, I also back up my iPhone and iPad to the same account - but of course they use the same Apple ID.
I, too, backup 2 phones, 2 iPads, and 1 iPod to the same computer with the same user account without any problems. Each device has their own name to keep everything clear.
Thanks for clarifying!
Thanks for the help, but still have one question (maybe more). If I "deauthorize all" in the store, do I just reauthorize the computers I want to use for backups?
Yes.
How can I backup 3 different Iphones to one Itunes account?
