n + 2/5 = 1/2
n = 1/2 - 2/5 do least common multiple = 10
n = 5/10 - 4/10
n = 1/10

I'm going to assume that the sum n+2 is divided by 5 which gives a different answer than the one provided by a previous tutor:
%28n%2B2%29%2F5+=+1%2F2
5%2A%28%28n%2B2%29%2F5%29+=+5%2A%281%2F2%29
n+%2B+2+=+5%2F2
n+=+5%2F2+-+2
n+=+5%2F2+-+4%2F2
n+=+%285-4%29%2F2
n+=+1%2F2
