The correct answer is: Any odd integer


aa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1+a+1b+1c-1a-1b-1c+1-1n+2a-1n-1b-1nc=0

aa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1+-1na+1b+1c-1a-1b-1c+1a-bc=0

aa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1+-1na+1a-1ab+1b-1-bc-1c+1c=0

aa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1+-1naa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1=0

(1+-1n)aa+1a-1-bb+1b-1cc-1c+1=0

Hence, n is an odd integer.
