In division with fractions, you flip the sign to multiplication and multiply it by the reciprocal. So, you do

1/1/5 (the / after the one means division because I don't have the sign in my keyboard)

1 * 1/5 (* means multiplication)

1/1 * 5/1

Then solve.

1/1*5/1= 5/1=5

So, 1 divided by 1/5 is 5.

$\frac{2/3x+20}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x+3\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - 3 = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - \frac{6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20-6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+14}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\2(\frac{2/3x+14}{2}) = 2(\frac{2}{3}x)\\2/3x+14=\frac{4}{3}x\\14=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x\\14=\frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{14}{1}/\frac{2}{3}=x\\\frac{14}{1}*\frac{3}{2}=x\\7*3=x\\x=21$
