Which equation can be used to represent "three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four”? Don't explain it just choose an option and please choose the right one please

(1 – n) – 3 = (4 – 3n)

3 – (1 – n) = (4 – 3n)

(n – 1) – 3 = (3n – 4)

3 – (n – 1) = (3n – 4)

Solution

The correct equation is:
