Simpify the following:$-\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5})$


Given :

The given expression is $-\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5})$.

To do :

We have to simplify the given expression.

Solution :

$-\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5})$

The addition follows associative property. Associative property of addition states that

$(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)$

Therefore,

$-\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5})=(-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3})+\frac{4}{5}$

                            $ = 0+\frac{4}{5}$

                             $= \frac{4}{5}$.

Therefore, the value of $-\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5})$ is  $\frac{4}{5}$.
