Answer:

2x - 3 = 11

Explanation:

"difference" means subtraction, so it is subtraction.

"twice a number" simply means 2x, since you do not know what the specified number is, it is x. and the 2 and just making it twice the number.

"Is 11" just means equals 11.

so, 2x - 3 = 11.

hope this helps!
