Move 4a to the other side.

a = -5/52

Answer:

a = -10.4

Explanation:

You want the solution to 13 = -5/4a.

Multiplicative inverse

To make the coefficient of 'a' be 1, multiply the equation by the inverse of the coefficient.

(-4/5)(13) = (-4/5)(-5/4)a

-52/5 = a = -10.4

The value of 'a' that makes this true is -10.4.
