\frac54 (2a-10) = \frac{3}{2a}

Is that it?

Multiply both sides by 4a to remove the fractions.
Then, distribute the terms to remove the brackets.
Simplify and you can then put all the terms in a on one side, and the others on the other side of the equal sign.
Then, divide by the coefficient of a.

Post what you get! :)
