Answer:

a = Negative one-fifth

Explanation:

The given equation is :


(2)/(5)+a=(1)/(5)

We need to find the value of a.

Subtract 2/5 from both sides.


(2)/(5)+a-(2)/(5)=(1)/(5)-(2)/(5)\\\\a=(1)/(5)-(2)/(5)\\\\a=(-1)/(5)

So, the correct answer is Negative one-fifth. Hence, the correct option is (b).
