Fill in the Blank

A financial analyst is using the equation n2=3n+11n^2 = 3n + 11 to model the projected growth of a new investment fund. To solve for nn by completing the square, the analyst first subtracts 3n3n from both sides to obtain the equation n2−3n=11n^2 - 3n = 11. In order to calculate the constant that must be added to both sides to complete the square, the analyst must first identify the coefficient of the linear term (nn). In this specific equation, that coefficient is ____.
