Given parameters:

This is a word problem. To solve problems, it is best to interpret sentence by sentence;

Six more than a number doubled;

let the number = y ;

so we have 2(y + 6)

equal =

twice a number plus three;

let the number be Z;

2Z + 3

The complete expression is thus; 2(y + 6) = 2Z + 3
