The unknown number from the expression is 22

Let the unknown number be "x"

If the number is increased by 11, this is expressed as x + 11

Twice the number decreased by 12 is expressed as 2x - 11

Equating both results

x + 11 = 2x - 11

x - 2x = -11-11

-x = -22

x = 22

Hene the unknown number from the expression is 22
