Answer:-1/(a^2 -3a)
Solution :

-3/15a × 5/a-3
= -3/3a × 1/a-3
=-1/a × 1/a-3
=-1/a(a-3)
=-1/(a^2 -3a)

For this case we must find the following product:


\frac {a-3} {15a} * \frac {5} {a-3} = \frac {5 (a-3)} {15a (a-3)}

We know that
\frac {(a-3)} {(a-3)} = 1

So:


\frac {5 (a-3)} {15a (a-3)} = \frac {5} {15a}

Dividing the numerator and denominator by "5":


\frac {5} {15a} = \frac {1} {3a}

Thus, the product is
\frac {1} {3a}

Answer:


\frac {1} {3a}
