well, technically I think there are two answers that could technically work but if we're reading from left to right:

product of 12 and y means 12y, and "increased by 11" means add 11 AFTER multiplying 12 times y

misty1212 · Answer

yeah i would go with $$12y+11$$

misty1212 · Answer

but that is just a guess
math is not the same as inglish
inglish is ambiguous sometimes

plasmataco · Answer

same. It says the product of 12 and y. and then it says increased by 11.
