I believe you make them both have the same demoninator.  So it'd be 12/15x+20/15=?

4/5x +4/ 3x
1st, you need a common denominator. 
that would be 15 x.
so multiply the first term's numerator and denominator by 3.
12/15x+4/3x
Now you need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the second term by 5.
12/15x+20/15x
simplify that.
