$$\frac{3}{10} = - \frac{2 a}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3/10 = -2/5*a

Move free summands (without a)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = - \frac{2 a}{5} - \frac{3}{10}$$
Move the summands with the unknown a
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{2 a}{5} = - \frac{3}{10}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2/5
a = -3/10 / (2/5)

We get the answer: a = -3/4
