Answer:


a = (3)/(4)

Explanation:

Let's convert everything to sixths to make it easier to work with.


(4)/(6)a - (1)/(6) = (2)/(6)

Add 1/6 to both sides:


(4)/(6)a = (3)/(6).

Dividing both sides by 4/6:


a = (3)/(6) / (4)/(6)\\\\a = (3)/(6) \cdot (6)/(4)\\\\a = (18)/(24)\\\\a = (3)/(4)

Hope this helped!
