    Let x represent the first number, y represent the second, and z represent the third.

    x + y + z = 92

    z = 3x

    x = y - 7

    Solve x = y - 7 for y.

    x = y - 7

    x + 7 = y

    Fill in y and z so that we only have to worry about x for now.

    x + y + z = 92

    x + (x + 7) + (3x) = 92

    x + x + 7 + 3x = 92

    5x + 7 = 92

    5x = 92 - 7

    5x = 85

    x = 85/5

    x = 17

    Solve for y.

    y = x + 7

    y = (17) + 7

    y = 24

    Solve for z.

    z = 3x

    z = 3 (17)

    z = 51

    So x = 17, y = 24, and z = 51.
