I tell my students that algebra is the process of winding up and unwinding equations....
Letters like m and n are frequently used when we use integers.
Your description sounds like there's only one unknown.
Let k be the unknown number
Then (k+3)/(k-3) is what you've described, right? This is an 'expression' not an equation. What is it equal to?
