Divide by 5 each side
X+2=4
Subtract 2 from each side
X=2
5(2+2)=20
Does work

An easy way is to do it, if you get confused by multiplying fractions, is by turning the fractions into decimals. Since you are trying to find N you want to multiply the 1/5 by the 1/3.
1/5 = 0.2
1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333
if you multiply those you get 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 which when put into a fraction it equals 1/15
but if you don't want to do that just try to remember that you want to get by itself. and when multiplying fractions in this situation the bottom numbers only matter.. so 5 x 3 = 15 1/15
would you like me to put it in a document to show you?
