You are still overwriting a in every iteration.
Did you do a basic Matlab tutorial?

First, don't use loops at all. For example, with n==3...
n = 3;
ind = 1:n;
a = ind.'*5/n + ind*8/n
Since this is probably homework, and a loop is required, while I tend not to do homework assignments, you came pretty close. You made only two mistakes. First, you did not preallocate a, which is important for speed, but not crucial. It would still run without that line. Second, you are stuffing the elements as created into a(i,j). So you need to write it that way.
n = 3;
a = zeros(n); % preallocate arrays
for i = 1:n
for j = 1:n
a(i,j) = (5*(i/n))+(8*(j/n));
end
end
a
