In order to know the explicit equation we need to know that n is the position of the number

for example n=1

3(1)+4=7

4(1)+3=7

1+7=8

2(1)+5=7

for example n=2

3(2)+4=10

4(2)+3=11

2+7=9

2(2)+5=9

we can continue proving more values but with these two we can see the only equation with both values correct in the sequence the equation is 4n+3

n=1

4(1)+3=7

n=

4(2)+3=11

n= 3

4(3)+3=15

n=4

4(4)+3=19

n=5

4(5)+3=23

n=10

4(10)+3=43
