The values could be 1 or 3.
In this exercise, you're required to write a mathematical (algebraic) expression for the given word problem and determine which values could be the unknown number.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
[tex]n^{2} = 4n - 3\\\\n^{2} - 4n + 3 = 0[/tex]
We would solve the quadratic equation by using the factorization method;
[tex]n^{2} - 3n -n + 3 = 0\\\\n(n - 3) - 1(n - 3) = 0\\\\(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0[/tex]
Therefore, the values could be 1 or 3.
