You can make up any numbers for the first two blanks, then choose
the number that is 5 less than what you get when you multiply the 
first two numbers you chose.

Example; Choose 8 for the first blank and 13 for the second blank

 8  ×  13 - ___ = 5

Multiply 8 by 13 and get 104.
Subtract 5, 104-5 = 99

So 99 goes in the remaining blank:

 8  ×  13 -  99 = 5

We have numbers 1 - 3, as: matrix%281%2C6%2C+N%5B1%5D%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+N%5B2%5D%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+and%2C+N%5B3%5D%29
The equation then becomes:
As with any equation, substitute any 2 values for any 2 variables, and you can find the 3rd variable.
