n = even number
n - 1 = odd number
3 ( n - 1 ) = 4 n - 11
3 n - 3 = 4 n - 11 Subtract 3 n to both sides
3 n - 3 - 3 n = 4 n - 11 - 3 n
- 3 = n - 11 Add 11 to both sides
- 3 + 11 = n - 11 + 11
8 = n
n = 8 = even number
n - 1 = 7 = odd number
n - 1 = odd number
3 ( n - 1 ) = 4 n - 11
3 n - 3 = 4 n - 11 Subtract 3 n to both sides
3 n - 3 - 3 n = 4 n - 11 - 3 n
- 3 = n - 11 Add 11 to both sides
- 3 + 11 = n - 11 + 11
8 = n
n = 8 = even number
n - 1 = 7 = odd number
