Answer: The number is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the [number]

Rephrase the expression

a number increased by 11 is equal to twice the number decrease by 12

x+11=2x-12

Add 12 on both sides

x+11+12=2x-12+12

x+23=2x

Subtract x on both sides

x+23-x=2x-x

x=23

Hope this helps!! :)

Hello there

The correct answer in mm would be 60 mm

In cm it would be 6 cm

10 mm = 1 cm

.5+.9+2+2.6 = 6
