In the end I just made a sum of the process variables in the e-mail form, that was enough for me. Also, in the database I could do the same with a new custom record. Thanks!

You can fetch the date and the no of days to be added from the database to expression rule using the query entity and follow the below code for the desired Output. If you want to add multiple data you can use forEach().

a!localVariables(
/* Fetch the date and no of days to be added using query entity*/
  local!date:today(),
  local!noOfDays:2,
  local!result:local!date+local!noOfDays,
  local!result
)

Agree with Mike - get the data but do the add operation within Appian.

This would be far easier to do just by writing an expression using Query Entity to fetch the date from the row in question and then add the number of days to it. In general I strongly recommend against using the Query DB nodes like this unless there's absolutely no other option.
