This is your original question:

13 = \frac{a}{- 2}

Multiply both sides by -2. This will eliminate the fraction on the right side of the equation, isolating the variable:

13 (- 2) = (\frac{a}{- 2}) (- 2)

That will get you:

- 26 = a

13 = \frac{a}{- 2}

Multiply both sides by -2.

13 (- 2) = a

Multiply 13 and -2 to get -26.

- 26 = a

- 26 = a

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

a = - 26
