The algebraic expression would be 6n+116n+11.

Explanation:

You can "translate" the sentence from English into math, like this:

stackrel(6) overbrace("Six") " " stackrel(xx) overbrace("times") " " stackrel(n) overbrace("a number") " " stackrel(+) overbrace("increased by") " " stackrel(11) overbrace("eleven")

Now you can copy it down and simplify it a little bit:

color(white)=6xxn+11

=6n+11

That's it. Hope this helped!
