Small number =X
mid number = 3X-4
large number = 3x
X+3X-4+3X=24
7X-4=24
7X-4+4=24+4
7X=28
X=28/7
X=4
S=4
M=3(4) -4=12-4=8
L=3(4)=12
The numbers are 4,8 and 12
The discount is 50-14 = $36

Standard form is ax + by = c. Begin our transformation by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction. Notice that ax + by = c does not allow for fractions. Doing that multiplication gives us 2y=-x + 3. Now move the x over by the y by addition. x + 2y = 3. And there you go!
