23 is the correct answer. Remember the old trick for the order of operations:
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
P = Parentheses E = Exponents M = Multiplication D = Division A = Addition S = Subtraction
So, for this problem, you start by multiplying 2*4, then add 3 to get 11, then multiply 11*2, then add 1.
