Answer

$a>-7$.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 6a-15<11a+20$ Subtract $6a$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 6a-15-6a<11a+20-6a$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -15<5a+20$ Subtract $20$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow -15-20<5a+20-20$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -35<5a$ Divide both sides by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{-35}{5}-7$.
