    So obviously the 20N pulls more than the 5N. Friction opposes direction of motion, so the 5N opposes the 20N and the two forces are against each other.

    Net force would be in the direction of the 20N force: 20N - 5N = 15N.

    Force = mass*acceleration

    15 = (5) * acceleration

    acceleration = 3m/s^2
