    S = 2J - 1

    R = J + 53

    S - 25 = J + 25 ... S = J + 50

    2J - 1 = J + 50

    2J - J = 50 + 1

    J = 51 <===Jason has 51 CD's

    R = J + 53

    R = 51 + 53

    R = 104 <===Raoul has 104 CD's

    S = 2J - 51

    S = 2 (51) - 1

    S = 102 - 1

    S = 101 <===Seth has 101 CD's
