    Let's say "the number" is the variable x

    Then, let's make equations that demonstrate the problem.

    11 more than 5 of a certain number is 20 more than 2 times of that number

    11 + 5x = 20 + 2x ← solve this for x

    5x = 9 + 2x

    3x = 9

    x = 3

    Therefore, the number is 3
