Default The Official Math Thread

Any type of question, problem or coment related with the marvellous world of mathematics is welcome.
I'm going to start with a problem I have to solve but I can't.
It's the following one:
Juan says to Luisa: If you give me 3 coins I will have "n" times as many as you'll have. Luisa responds:
True, but if you give me "n" coins, then I will have three times what you have left. For what values of "n" are these statements true?
If you know how to solve it, please help.
I've already started solving it, but I can't finish it:
