You can put this solution on YOUR website! Triple a number, minus one is fifty.
n = a number
3n - 1 = 50
3n = 51
n = 17
------------------------
Triple the difference of a number and one is fifty.
3*(n - 1) = 50
n-1 = 50/3
n = 53/3
--------
Or
3*(1 -n) = 50, both 1-n and n-1 fit.
3*|n - 1| = 50 where |...| is absolute value
