To put this into an equation let's start by labeling the Lyon Association as x.

And now lets look at the facts.

Since 48 = Three times the amount of teams minus three (aka three less than)

48 = (3 times X) - 3

If you need to solve for X

48 = (3 times X) - 3
  +3                    +3
51= 3 times X
   /3          /3
51/3 = X   

X= 17
