Step 1. Given information

In the following exercise, solve each equation using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality.
$a + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$

Step 2. Explanation

$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow a + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \\ Subtract \frac{2}{5} from each sides \\ \Rightarrow a + \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{5} \\ \Rightarrow a = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{5} \\ Taking LCD to solve right side of the equation \\ \Rightarrow a = \frac{4 - 2}{5} \\ \Rightarrow a = \frac{2}{5} \end{array}$
