X equals 6
How? Well first I multiplied 12 x 18 which is 216.
Then I subtracted 468 - 216 that equals 252.
Because I know that 2 x 6 equals a 12.....x had to be a 6.
So I multiplied 42 x 6 and it equaled 252.
So x is 6
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?
