Answer:

a = -13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by the same number (15).  This clears out the fractions:

     -2a             13

15 -------- = 15 ----------

        5               15

Then we have -2a(3) = 13, or

                          -6a    = 13, or

                              a = -13/6
