Answer:

Number = 2

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

  • Number increased by 11 = x+11
  • Multiplied by 2 is 26 : (x+11)*2 = 26

Equation will be,

  • 2(x+11) = 26

Solving for x,

  • 2x+22 = 26
  • 2x = 26-22
  • 2x = 4
  • x = 4/2
  • x = 2

Thus,the number is 2.
