1. **State the problem:** Write the expression $\frac{4n}{5} - 2 + \frac{3n}{5}$ as a single fraction in simplest form.
2. **Identify the terms:** The expression has two fractions with denominator 5 and a whole number $-2$.
3. **Rewrite the whole number as a fraction:** To combine all terms, write $-2$ as $\frac{-2 \times 5}{5} = \frac{-10}{5}$.
4. **Combine all fractions:**
$$\frac{4n}{5} + \frac{3n}{5} + \frac{-10}{5} = \frac{4n + 3n - 10}{5}$$
5. **Simplify the numerator:**
$$4n + 3n - 10 = 7n - 10$$
6. **Final expression:**
$$\frac{7n - 10}{5}$$
7. **Check simplification:** The numerator and denominator have no common factors, so this is the simplest form.
**Answer:**
$$\frac{7n - 10}{5}$$
