Let's call the number x. So four times the number minus five would look like
4x-5
Twice the number plus three would look like
2x+3
Now make the two equations equal
4x-5=2x+3
I'm going to subtract 2x from each side
2x-5=3
Now I'm going to add five to each side
2x=8
Now divide both sides by 2
x=4
To double check, just plug back into the original equations
4(4)-5=11
2(4)+3=11
They are equal, so the answer is x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

Then, according to the question,

4x-5=2x+3

(we need to find the value of x)

4x-2x=5+3

= 2x=8

= x=8/2

= x=4

Missing questions:
How much cereal was poured? How much milk was poured?

Solution:
Cereal poured = 2/3 of 8/9 of a small box of cereal = 8/9*2/3 = 16/27 of a small box of cereal.

Milk poured = 2/3 of 5/6 pint of milk = 5/6*2/3 = 5/9 pint of milk
