Remember that an exponent means repeated multiplication.
The exponent of 4 means you have four 
's mutiplied together:
And then each exponent of 2 inside means you have two 
's multiplied inside each set of parentheses.:
There are 8 b's there when you expand this out.
Answer:
a=1 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
let
p(x)=x³-2ax²+16
put x= -2
p(-2)=(-2)³-2a(-2)²+16
p(-2)=-8+16-8a
p(-2)=8-8a
as (x+2) is a factor of p(x) then p(x) is equal to zero
8-8a=0
8=8a
a=1

It is related to econometrics, however using simple algebraic logic we can solve this problem. General formula with residual is
, where r is a residual. Plugging the pair into the formula, we obtain that
and r=0.5
Steaks
s,t,k,s = 4 x 50 = 200
e,a = 2 x 15 = 30
200 + 30 = 230
