Answer:

So the answer is
-(28)/(9)a

Explanation:

$(13)/(5) a^2 + (7)/(9)a - 5a +\frac {10}{9}a$

Take like terms

(7)/(9)a-5a+(10)/(9)a

Turn the whole number into an improper fraction that has the same denominator as the other terms

(5)/(1)a ⇒
(45)/(9)a

Subtract the second term from the first

(7)/(9)a-(45)/(9)a=-(38)/(9)a

Then add the last term

-(38)/(9)a+(10)/(9)a=-(28)/(9)a
