Answer:

a = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial divided by factor (x - h) has a remainder given by f(h)

Here the divisor is (x - 2), thus f(2) gives the remainder, that is

2³ + 2(2)² - 7(2) + a = 4 ← 4 being the remainder

8 + 8 - 14 + a = 4, that is

12 + a = 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

a = - 8
